A Night to Remember. With all due respect to James Cameron. This was the best Titanic movie ever made. Factual, and shot in a documentary style.
I disagree. I think the 96 one was a little better. Not just a great Titanic movie but a great movie.
Cameron said his movie is strongly inspired on this one, if you pay attention can even spot the similarities in these scenes. I think both are great according to their place in time and both are essential to the Cinema history.
3:47 czcams.com/video/TG_27lBGVvI/video.html
I feel Night to Remember is better from a dramatic/human standpoint. Cameron's is obviously much closer to the technical aspects of how the sinking went down. (Although at the time for Night to Remember, it was accepted the ship sank intact).
In this one the ship doesn't break in half, so not all that factual, wasn't their fault though they didn't know in the 50s, I still prefer this one though.
"But this boat can't sink"
"She's made of iron, sir, I assure you she can" best lines in the Cameron movie!
Only a few in the Cameron film because of the horrible love story with Winslet and Decaprio that ruined the movie and it should have never won 11 Academy Awards ,No Way, West Side Story and Ben Hur were much better and very worthy of their 10 awards, Absolutely!!!!!

Yes and deservedly so
"She's unsinkable!" Andrews pops that bubble with classic British understatement with "She can't float."
That’s why this is the shipwreck everyone remembers the most, because it was in the words of Dr Ballard and Eva Hart , “A tribute to Man’s Arrogance. For Man to build something and claim it is undestroyable, is the most arrogant thing to say”
@@josephmarrison4606 Except they didn't actually claim it was unsinkable. Whenever the word "unsinkable" was used in marketing, which wasn't that often, it was always prefixed by disclaimers such as "practically" or "designed to be". This is basically admitting that it's impossible to build unsinkable ships, but also the faith that their design is impervious to every situation they had considered. Titanic encountered a situation nobody had considered. But regardless of this, it was the good-natured hubris that lead to so many dying, the faith that it could be it's own lifeboat. Labelling the entire ship as a product of greed and arrogance is just plainly unfair in my opinion.
Rest in peace to the engine crews, engineers, boilermakers, and plumbers who risked their lives by staying in their post and doing all their duty to maintin the ship's electricity and power and keep it afloat for an hour just to save the lives of everyone above..
By far the best version of the Titanic story. Unlike the later James Cameron version this stuck to the facts.
I always get a chill up my spine when the captain states "Gentlemen we are in a precarious position. We must prepare to abandon ship." I can't imagine the shock, disbelief, of that actually being said.
4:21 What about this part? Lol
Cameron spent more time showing us a first class passenger having an affair with a 3rd class bum instead of the actual horror of the sinking. It was also brimming with mistakes. Why have Murdoch kill himself? Why have the break aft of the 3rd funnel? Why no mention of Carpathia or the Californian?
@@TangledUpInBlue631 Fixed.
@@davidknowles2491 Carpathia is mentioned, Californian is mentioned in the extended version.

No. Just an already proven inaccurate over acted and exaggerated depiction of Ismay.
@@xr6lad no - actually yes
@@xr6lad When was it proven?
I can understand why Cameron put in a fictional love story and I'm a nerdy engineer/scientist. It raised the stakes for the moviegoer and presented the question: how will I have behaved?
Charles Nesbit, David McCallum, Kenneth Moore, Kenneth Griffith, some of the best actors Great Britain ever produced...
Sorry correction: Charles Nesmith, not Nesbit.
I totely agree
@@alexp3752 I think you are referring to Laurence Naismith (the actor playing Captain Smith)?
How frightening to have the knowledge that the ship will sink, and there isn't enough life boats.
Considering the fact that by default the boats were not designed to take all the passengers, I believe captain Smith was more frighten to learn how much time it would take the ships who responded to the SOS signals to arrive at the Titanic's position.
And probably was annoyed to see that the nearest one visible on the horizon (turned out to be the Californian) was not responding to any type of signals...
By far the best movie of the disaster and very factual.
The 1997 movie does a good job, though the facts mostly appear in the background.
97 was way better.
Certainly puts Cameron version in the shade A classic Very atmospheric and understated So very British Great
One story is about a ship sinking; the other is a love story aboard a boat that sinks.
"I say, let's go down and join the fun!"
"But they're steerage passengers."
Took the fun right out of it for me.
What a stuck up little bitch she was!

@@cdostudio5079 the separation of class had more to do with infectious diseases than money.
@@johnschwalb good point
@@mikegallant811 So, how many poor people do you associate with?
When Cameron's version was released I asked my Dad if he would see it...his reply? A Night to Remember is the best movie on the subject and wouldn't see the new version.
He was right.
The very best version of the Titanic disaster, filmed with some of the survivors watching from off-set. Interestingly, Kenneth More (Lightoller), Lawrence Naismith (Captain Smith), and Michael Goodliffe (Thomas Andrews, shipbuilder) all were in the 1960 film “Sink the Bismarck)!
@markmeader5148 : I believe that the actor who played Captain Stanley Lord of the Californian on A Night to Remember was also in Sink the Bismarck as a high ranking British Air Force Officer.
I wouldn't call it the best version of the Titanic disaster. It shows the limited information they had and basically went with the reports from the US Commerce Committee inquiry and the British Wreck Commissioner's inquiry. That, and add in the popular notion that ship went down in one piece and only a three hundred foot gash in her side could've doomed the unsinkable ship, well it definitely shows it being a dated movie. Heck, even Cameron's movie got things wrong, and that one is considered the crown jewel of the sinking.
@@herondelatorre4023as was Jack Watling who played Fourth Officer Boxhall here and the signals officer in Sink the Bismarck!
@@nottmjas You're right. Thank you for the info. 👍👍
The Board of Trade regulations indeed did not envisage such a situation; they felt the boats were only for transferring passengers, and that the ship was a far safer place to be. Those regulations were subsequently changed, of course. As they say: ‘every regulation is written in blood.’
Your comment reminds me of what people were told to do in the housing tower block that burned down in London a few years back. They were told to stay in their apartments in the case of fire as they believed it was safer to do so rather then risk death by smoke inhalation. A lot of people died following those recommendations.
@@daviniarobbins9298 And they were told to stay in the WTC towers as well. Same outcome for far too many.
Today regulations are also insufficient. Every major ship that sunk after Titanic (Lusitania, Britannic, Andrea Doria, Costa Concordia, Estonia) proved, that you need enough lifeboat or rafts to fit every one at one side of the ship, becouse before you prepare lifeboat, ship will list, and make half of your boats impossible to launch.
Originally Andrews want a full row of the lifeboats to be placed on the Titanic but Ismay and other White Star Line director board idiots which firmly believed in this "she will never sink" idiocy persuaded him to reduce amount of the lifeboats to the regulatory minimum...
@@asheer9114 Your assumption is wrong. Titanic was required to have 16 lifeboats, but it had 20. So bit more than regulations said. Also, back in 1912 lifeboats were only a mean of transport passangers from sinking ship, to rescure ship, not to evacuate passengers to lifeboats and then be picket up by other ship. It would not work in north atlattic for most of the time, due to weather.
I've never seen this classic- excellent acting to be expected, but the set work, modelling and other production values are remarkably good.
I really appreciate A Night to Remember (1958) now but in my youth I thought it too 'dry' (what, indeed, did I know?). I preferred Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb's Titanic (1953). As a kid my mother would alert us to when Titanic would be on TV. Only later in life did I come to appreciate both movies in how they complemented each other in celebrating the the great ship's existence.
This was one of my favorite movies growing up.
Best movie ever around the Titanic Heartbreakingly acted
The best film made about the Titanic tragedy.
Meh. I think 96 broke a lot more ground.
I think if u took this film and 97 and made a movie soulfully about the titanic itself and had it split in half, it would be PERFECT!
Thomas Andrews actor makes the whole film for me. I believe he was in The Man With The Golden Gun Too. Great performance here.
The set used for that movie n the model for the ship all belonged to nazi Germany because goebbels during the war was making a movie to shoe western spending
Yes. Michael Goodliffe. ! He had a long distinguished career on stage
and film.
Best Titanic film made, no daft romance story, straight to the point on how it happened
All those boys playing with the ice would be dead in 2 hours.
56 of them survived actually
Lucky bastards
really, no one knew that
Spoilers!
Contrast the seriousness and gravity of the characters in this (which is probably much closer to how they really acted that night), with the soap-opera histrionics of Cameron's "Titanic".
'A Night To Remember'. A classic for it's time.
One of the most powerful scenes in this fabulous film 🎥!!!!!
When I was a kid I read the book "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" , one of the few books I ever read.
Walter Lord did a lot of research and spoke to a lot of the survivors for his book. it is a very factual and truthful account of the disaster.
@@jimcrawford5039 Walter Lord's book kicked off the whole Titanic obsession.
I read this as well and one thing that always irritated me is in every movie about Titanic you ever see, they have a scene with the band playing 'Nearer My God, to Thee', including this one. Yet the book clearly states that most couldn't recall, and those that did mentioned 'Autumn''. I know it makes for a good scene, but if it didn't happen, it didn't happen.
We know.
This is the best titanic movie
Yes. The 1955 one is also good, Cameron's good but too Hollywood.
@@jackswanson3039 too Hollywood? Are you serious? And the scene above with Ismay babbling on isn’t Hollywood? Give me a break
I quite agree, even better than the '97 movie even though that one has more special effects. Nothing beats the old way of movie making!!
Agreed. All the same, one can't help noticing how the acoustics seem all wrong. No background noise whatever, not even a gentle wash from the sea.
Yes this is the best one
Best Titanic movie ever made
The best and most faithful rendition of the Titanic movies!
The actors who played Andrews in this and Cameron’s movie were spot on and nailed their respective roles
Lawrence Naismith was perfect for the captain role.
Absolutely.
Argus in Jason and the Argonauts...
If I remember right. Neither, the White Star Line nor the Captain and crew ever said the ship was "Unsinkable". That phrase came from a tabloid magazine advertisement, selling of the ship. It was never assumed that she was unsinkable, though they tried really hard to build a safe liner. That's the reason so few lifeboats were installed. Keep in mind that they had just what was required for the time.
Captain Smith did once say he could no longer conceive of conditions that could cause a ship to founder "modern ship building has gone beyond that"
Imagine what the people on the forward well deck were thinking, when they were playing with ice then suddenly steam is blown out the forward funnel.
That look the Captain gave Ismay when he replied "I know that"
This movie stayed true to Walter Lord's excellent book. Another excellent book by Lord is "The Incredible Victory", about the Battle of Midway.
When I first saw this movie, I have been well into the story of Titanic. I saw it at the age of 8 or 9 years old . My birthday date is the 14th April . What a irony .
Coincidence. Not irony.
@@thickerconstrictor9037 at 8 to 9 years old I wouldn’t say that felt like a coincidence.. You definitely drag down a party atmosphere wouldn’t you 😂😂😂
@fabianwylie8707 : Just imagine if you had been before 24 hours later on April 15th . What an even greater irony it would have been.
' She cant sink shes unsinkable ????` Thomas Andrews answer - she cant float
Except for the fact that no one in the 1950s knew that the ship broke in two, this movie is an excellent and accurate depiction. Better than Cameron's for the Titanic sinking. Cameron's movie was excellent in its own right but was more a love story and treasure hunt.
no one in the 2000s know it broke in half either. it has never been proved it broke in half on the surface. I agree Cameron’s was a Mills & Boone love story.
Several eye-witness accounts from survivors stated the ship broke in half, the stern stood on end, turned around and then sank vertically.
A drawing made by one of them was published in Ballard's book on the rediscovery of the Titanic.
Also, the sounds of rending and booming metal were heard further away after the ship's lights failed (so the ship could barely be seen), but were attributed to the boilers falling out of their mountings as the ship up-ended.
These eye-witness reports were feared to reflect badly on the construction of the ship (in the minds of the ignorant newspaper-readers) and were therefore side-lined during the investigation in favour of what damage had occurred and how the regulations were to be improved.
There are many accounts of the investigation, few mention eye-witness reports or things like the non-actions of the Californian's master.
Well done movie. Factual and exciting without the drawn out fictional additions of Rose, Jack and Cal. The guy playing Capt Smith was very good
Ironic about the Board of Trade regulations about Lifeboats....I recall reading somewhere that Alexander Carlisle, Thomas Andrew's Predecessor at Harland and Wolff, who began the design of the Olympic-Class Liners, originally had accommodation for up to 64 boats. This was blocked because of _economic_ fears that the ship carrying so many boats would prompt updated Safety regulations, requiring White Star (and all other shipping companies) to likewise update their safety equipment and number of boats on ALL their ships, at Company expense.
It's believed Carlisle actually resigned from Harland and Wolff out of protest over the decision to reduce the number of boats.
these ships would never handle 64 lifeboats, that’s ridiculous!
@@jimcrawford5039 they would if they were designed to.
The thinking was that ships were now very safe. Plus there were so many ships at sea that a single ship would never be too far from shore or other ships. The combination of boats from various ships would be sufficient. Their main purpose was to transport survivors from the sinking ship to another ship or to the shore. These boats were not intended to be floating for hours by themselves.
Shortly after Walter Lord's book was published, Kraft Television Theatre produced a television version in docu-drama style narrated by Claude Rains. It was broadcast live in March 1956. I remember it well...Mom and Dad let me stay up late. In this first version, Patrick Macnee, later of The Avengers fame, played Thomas Andrews. And, the only version to feature the band playing "Autumn" at the end.
Smith and Andrews did everything they could to save lives and sacrificed their own.
3.14 ` well what's the answer ??? shes going to sink Captain ` unbelievable delivery , the finest film about the sinking
At the time, the Board of Trade's regulations required British vessels over 10,000 tons to carry 16 lifeboats with a capacity of 990 occupants, for use in transferring people from one ship to another, so _Titanic_ actually had more lifeboats than were legally required.
One ought to always remember that “legally” is the minimum level of acceptable conduct.
The last likely sighting of Captain Smith was his being on the bridge as the ship went down.
Actually, reports from surviving crewmen indicate that he was alive in the water after she went down. Crewmen reported another man swimming up and asking if there was room on the debris. When they said no, he wished them luck and swam away, after which, one of them recognized the voice as that of the captain.
@@patricklenigan4309 there's conflicting reports. As pointed out, it was dark and could not be confirmed it was him. He certainly didn't survive.
@@TankUni I will agree with you on his not surviving to be rescued, for certain.
I saw him in Boys of the Black Stuff, he tried brick laying.

A great scene, done far better in this movie than in Cameron`s "Titanic". Laurence Naismith as the captain and Michael Goodliffe as the designer are both superb.

Still an excellent movie. So is “Titantic” with Barbra Stanwyck and Clifton Webb. The dialogue is stunning.
It was a good movie but it had a lot of inaccuracies too.
@@stephenperkins5644Plus, the fact that the character Thomas Andrews who built the ship and who sailed on the maiden voyage was NEVER shown in that 1953 movie. I still ask myself why ????
The first class passengers may have held their noses up at steerage passengers but it was the latter where all the profits were made for the shipping companies
Not true. 2nd class, 3rd class, and steerage passengers paid the overhead. They were the Steamship Companies bread, and butter. 1st class was their profit margin. So you better believe that the Steamship Companies looked after their 1st class passengers
I watched a brilliant documentary on Timeline on CZcams discussing a group of 14 from Ireland. There was no steerage on Titanic. 3rd class instead. They felt very rich even in 3rd class. 3 of them survived. I agree with what you’re saying though. White Star Line really took people for granted after the sinking too.
The Schlubs always pay the way for the Rich
Best version of them all, as far as I'm concerned. Response to video only.
Best film about the Titanic
I've often wondered if Andrews was as calm as portrayed in this film or in the television movie very terrified. In the Cameron film it's a little of both.
Historians say the breathless explanation Andrews gives in the 1997 version was wrong. Andrews would have been calm when telling the captain. This was 1912, and they wouldn't have panic in their voices. Stiff upper lip of the British.
@@johnking5174 Agreed, but the actor playing Andrews in ANTR, actually had the slightest of tremors when he reached for his pocket watch in this clip. Acting at its best!
30 boats on davits each designed to hold 40 people, with 2 collapsible boats on deck. EXCEPT, that many of the people were children. A boat designed to hold 40 adults can hold 80 children, or 20 adults and 40 children. The collapsible boats were never used. The kitchen put bread into the lifeboats because they didn't know how long it would be before rescue came. Ship's Officers also instructed the women and children to bring extra baggage consisting of warm clothing for the same reason. It was believed the boat occupants might be at sea for days before being rescued. CARPATHIA was contacted by wireless before TITANIC sank so that was unnecessary. The food and clothing could have been dumped to allow more people onto the boats. In any case, fewer than 800 people were put into the boats that could have held 1200 adults. Everyone could have been saved, particularly had the boats rowed towards the last sighting of CALIFORNIAN which was at most only 3 miles away. Rowing at 3 mph would have gotten the boats to CALIFORNIAN in less than an hour. Had the first lifeboats made for CALIFORNIAN they could have alerted that ship and had them launch their boats. No one should have died. It's a lesson in how not to react in an emergency. ;-)
The word is "davit" and the Californian was a good 20 miles away. Pity you weren't there on the day; clearly you could have turned the whole situation around.
@@tombristowe846 Thank you so much! I have to stop trusting spell-check!
I think the real problem was the ship being on it's maiden voyage. The crew and officers were not yet familiar with each other or the ship.
Californian was close enough to see Titanic's distress rockets. They thought it was a party.
A strong Captain might have saved everyone. In any case, the lifeboats were launched without being filled. Had they just filled the lifeboats hundreds more would have survived. ;-)
@@johnlepant6953 Your generous reply to my rather sarcastic comment makes me feel slightly guilty now! All the best from the UK.

Epic movie 👏
Cameron's main focus was the love story. This movie was all about the tragedy and therefore better from that angle.
Hell of a movie. Better than James Cameron by far. Mr. Lightoller, the pistol-wielding petty officer, was an advisor on this film. Hence the 'you-are-there' feel. I love this movie, but haven't seen it in a long time.
Why not download it before it's gone?
Lightoller died in 1952. one of the other officers advised on the movie.
James Boxhall I think.
Boxhall was the advisor, not Lightoller. There is a picture on the internet of Boxhall viewing the completed film, sitting alone in a private viewing room. One can only imagine what was going through his mind while watching the film.
@@ijnfleetadmiral My bad. Lightoller died six years before the film came out. I read his bio. Hell of a story!
She can’t sink. She’s unsinkable
She can’t float
The guy is so calming giving these news
The guy in Titanic 1997 is a little more dramatic. Wonder how it really happened, how surprised they were coming to realize that the ship of dreams was going to sink. It’s just unbelievable, unthinkable to their minds. Even today it’s a wonder how so many stupid mistakes and negligence could happen all leading to her sinking. I’m not the destiny believer type but it’s hard not to believe that it was doomed to fail.
Men were so full of themselves with the new machines, the airplane and so on that they really believed they had conquered the sea, that they had built an unsinkable ship.
I wish I had a time machine to go back that night and see how everything really unraveled...
As long as you change nothing go ahead frankly your presence could be enough
I think a there would have been extreme nervousness even some back and forth between the Captain and Andrews. I think his demeanor would have been a blend of 1997 and 1958 renditions. I think this because it took Andrews 45 minutes to inspect the ship and finally decide yes the ship would sink. The Titanic took the damage really well, as it was well designed, so the ship didn't behave like a sinking ship for a very long time after the collision. Andrews only had the theoretical calculations to go off because the Titanic didn't seem like it was sinking.
If i were in that position i might have been the same as seen here. Pretty calm and stoic being so overwhelmed with the facts. Some people when they find themselves in these situations don't know what to do. They don't panic, but they also can fail or at least be slow to act.
Thanks for the dissertations, folks. 👍
There is no actual proof this meeting ever happened. Dramatic licence.
The captain grew a real nice beard.
Very good movie.
No Other Movie Can Best Account For The Demise Of The Biggest, Luxurious, & Glamorous Ship Of All Time(RIP).
... or as we would say in southern Illinois, "NOMCBAFTDOTBLGSOATRIP"
I never realized how Cameron rolletd this movie off
Surely it won't sink. It will sink and don't call me shirley
I doubt Smith truly thought any vessel unsinkable, though before the launch a trade paper called RMS Titanic 'practically unsinkable'. But the captain did tell a newspaper a few years earlier that in 30 years he had never been in serious danger or even seen another ship in peril. He said that modern seafaring had 'gone beyond that'- a risky assumption.
That Edwardian confidence was general. People felt safer on the water than they now do in the air. At the inquiry by Lord Mersey, White Star deposed that in ten years before the disaster, it carried 2m passengers of whom two had died due to its negligence. And try hijacking a floating village.

Yeah he's far better in the 97 version. This is a great movie but the 97 version is much better than this.

If the Titanic had only damage in boiler room 6 she would have lasted long enough for Carpathia to arrive and just saying WORSE CASE SCENARIO having the cargo holds flooded she STILL could’ve remained afloat
I firmly beleive the people had the right to know immediately. Panic or no panic.
People back then were just resigned to fate! There were a lot of furniture and wooden doors, that they had two hours to turn into rafts, yet they did nothing but light cigars and listen to the band. They also could have tied mattresses together and hauled over the side, to plug the crack, like a modern collision mat. Instead, they did nothing but panic in the last moments, when there was a lot they could have done to save themselves!
Next time you try it...
Many of the men in 1st and 2nd class, and certainly the crew, realized that being in the North Atlantic Ocean in April, you might survive 10 or 15 minutes.
Many people had some knowledge of sailing schedules. They were sending Marconigrams to friends on nearby vessels. RMS Olympic, Titanic's sister ship, Californian, and others.
Many witnesses reported seeing Flares in the sky. Now it is thought to have been an illegal whaling ship, using flares to communicate with other whalers (also illegally hunting whales) (no radio, so flares/rockets for prearranged signals).
Some passengers, and possibly some Officers of Titanic believed it was Californian. (Based on strength of the radio signals earlier; before Californian shut off her radio.)
Carpathian's radio operator was preparing to shut off his radio for the night, when he heard Titanic's SOS!
More than 1,000 lives were saved by a Fluke!
I too wondered about that. Empty bottles and steamer trunks. Put bottles full up into steamer trunks. Do this four times and tie trunks together. Put large wooden table on trunk platform. Carry to bow and three to six people (depending on size, age, sex) will float away. They had some time and lots of things to work with besides tables, trunks and bottles.
Also the evacuation was well done for the time and place. But that crew was well trained and acted well. A clear order stating that all lifeboats are to be filled before launch, by all means with ANY at hand would have saved hundreds more, up to a thousand.
But the truth is, this is all hindsight and forethought. An easy place to say, "why didn't they..."
I pretty sure the ship did sink. I also see a good documentary on it and two of the passengers Jack and Rose I believe :). All kidding aside this was an excellent movie.
Agree
Who is the civillian the Captian is talking to at the end of this clip? Is he a ship livne excutive?
Yes, that is J. Bruce Ismay, Director of White Star Line and probably the single person most responsible for the disaster.
EDIT: I forgot about wireless operator Jack Philips, who didn’t pass the iceberg warnings from the Californian to the bridge.
Let’s not forget Lightoller refused people to lifeboats and then left them to die…
This cannot be improved upon. The 1997 'Titanic' was messy and cluttered with a superficial lurve story - not a patch on 'Night To Remember'.
2:59 - Note a nod to Titanic's original design. The plans show the ship with only three smokestacks.
Nice catch!
To me it seems that the fourth one is covered by a piece of paper, in the upper left corner of the original design.

5:09 Jack & Rose !
Acknowledged as the best most factual Titanic account yet , (although senior Nav officer Boxhall remarked that the real event was nothing like the film) I dont understand how ice was on the well deck . In order for ice to fall, the ship would have had to pass under an ice overhang and since the outward lifeboat was swung out at the time and received no damage , I can only assume that the ice was from the rigging that had shook loose ?? and did most certainly not come from the berg .
Where did Boxhall say the real even was nothing like the film? I've heard him describe this fim as "Terribly right"
I understand the ship going down by the bow....why not pump water..or allow it to flow aft...giving it more time before it went under... anyone know?
The water was pouring into the ship faster than the pumps could pump it out.
@@johnking5174 got that. I just wonder if they had let flood the entire ship evenly, if it would have bought more time instead of it nosing down first. I think if all the holds flooded evenly it would have been stable longer. How much, I don’t know.
Allow it to flow aft... Uphill?
Why didn't he order the distress call immediately?
James Cameron made this film over again in color but with a love story featuring a Gen-X couple who apparently time traveled from the 1990's.

They had room on the boats for 1,200, but thanks to their incompetence, only managed to save about 700.
Thanks, Wikipedia! 👍
Actually, those were amazing miracle numbers for the circumstances, they had terrible odds and with the situation they probably would’ve only got 2 or 3 hundred saved.
Incompetence? Most people didn't want to get into the boats because they didn't realize it was going down. So it was either wait until they could be launched filled to capacity, and not have time for the others, or start launching with some in there and hope others would follow suit. You've 2.5 hours to get 2,200 people onto 20 small boats, let's see how well you do.
Because of the hype people believed it was safer to stay on the warm apparently not sinking Titanic then get into what was literally a row boat in the middle of the ocean in the freezing night.
Grow up.
Ismay is despised for his perceived cowardice. He snuck aboard a life boat instead of following the examples of many male passengers and giving up their seats to women and children. And if no expenses were spared in it's building. Why not enough lifeboats, and why cheaper iron bolts and plate?
DAMN MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
TAKE THE FUN OUT OF EVERYTHING!!!, LOL
so many fools think Camerons movie was better; NIght To Remember was MUCH better showing how things actually happened; it was not done for flash and impact. It was done to tell a story the way it happened. Not as excuse for Hollywood crap. Andrews was the perfect example from all accounts of the stiff upper lip that was expected of a gentleman in England in this era. The look on his face when he is standing on the ladder and knows the ship is doomed is perfect. The actor portrayed Andrews as he was not as Hollywood wanted him to be
Michael Goodliffe. Never a huge star but always terrific in the many roles he played. He came to rather a sad end . Committed suicide sometime in the early 70s I think..?
Lmao, everyone in this movie is so calm. The dude with the blueprints is acting like it’s just another day at the office.
3:13 She’s going to sink Captain…
6:28 "Please insert disc two of A Night to Remember"
This Ship Is English Titanic I See Icebergs Some of it.
0:36 what are you guys doing?
This has always been my favorite version of this moment on film. I suppose it's the delivery. No histrionics or panic; he's an engineer and explains what will happen. He's not giving an opinion that can be argued against, but the laws of physics and how they're gonna work against the ship (and nicely explains to the audience why she sank from what they figured at the time)
How in gods name could they fail to design the watertight bulkheads to fail a few decks up ??? Thsi seems pretty basic !
Hindsight is a wonderful thing
@@Steve14ps There's SO much of that here... ugh. Rather than just commenting on the movie... countless are nitpicking what should have been done differently in society then...
@@billhoskoformayorofsaintpa1295 You are right there, many accident investigations have come to the conclusion 'if only'
THEY COULD NOT IMAGINE A COLLISION TO DAMAGE MORE THAT 1-2 BULKHEADS
@@chuckschafer6728 There's been plenty of collisions that have done one to two bulkheads
why Philips allways depicted as an unatractive guy?!
if you see his real pic, you'll see he is actually was a very handsome nerd
Ironically, the guy who played Phillips in this film was also memorable in another, even briefer role in the movie "Four Weddings and a Funeral", starring Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell. He played the crazy old man at two of the weddings.
"Hi, I'm Charles."
"Don't be ridiculous! Charles died twenty years ago!"
"Must be a different Charles -"
"Are you telling me I don't know my own brother?"
"No, no..."
"Bride or groom, sir?"
"What?"
"Bride or groom, sir?"
"It should be perfectly obvious that I'm neither! Great God..."
