Review

  • I really enjoyed watching this movie again. It had been some twenty years since I last saw it on television and it still looks great on the small screen (although, as we all know, the only real place to see epic movies like this is in the cinema). I generally agree with the comments that have been written here, but I can´t help but feel that there is a little something wrong in what is presented to us about what happened aboard the ship that fateful night. It is hinted at several times in "A Night To Remember" but never fully pursued. The hint is that the steerage passengers were kept at bay until the first-class passengers had manned the available boats. We are even informed, at one point, that the first class passengers are being loaded onto lifeboats at the other side of the ship, away from the main contingent of passengers gathered together in their lifebelts. Another scene depicts attendants penning the steerage passengers in like dangerous wild animals as the actual evacuation is taking place. Still, an admirable film which tried perhaps as honestly as possible to portray what really happened.
