If you’ve only seen James Cameron’s telling of the R.M.S. Titanic’s tragic 1912 sinking, you might be surprised how much that film owes to this earlier British version directed by Hammer and Amicus alum Roy Ward Baker (Scars of Dracula, Asylum) — set pieces and shots are eerily similar. A Night to Remember is a fast-paced thriller disaster movie that refrains from easy sentiment or a long exposition. It’s like the last half of James Cameron’s movie, focusing almost completely on the sinking, and without any fictional characters at all. It’s not produced on quite the same epic scale that Titanic was, but the production values are still pretty extraordinary. Kenneth More heads the cast as Second Officer Lightoller.
