• HAUNTING TITANIC WRECK...
A Night to Remember is a 1958 British docudrama film based on the eponymous 1955 book by Walter Lord. The film and book recount the final night of RMS Titanic, which on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and then sank in the early morning hours of Monday, 15 April 1912. Adapted by Eric Ambler and directed by Roy Ward Baker, the film stars Kenneth More as the ship's Second Officer Charles Lightoller and features Michael Goodliffe, Laurence Naismith, Kenneth Griffith, David McCallum and Tucker McGuire. It was filmed in the United Kingdom and tells the story of the sinking, portraying the main incidents and players in a documentary-style fashion with considerable attention to detail. The production team, supervised by producer William MacQuitty (who saw the original ship launched) used blueprints of the ship to create authentic sets, while Fourth Officer Joseph Boxhall and ex-Cunard Commodore Harry Grattidge worked as technical advisors on the film. Its estimated budget of up to £600,000 (£13.1 million adjusted for inflation [2019]) was exceptional and made it the most expensive film ever made in Britain up to that time.
The World Premiere was on Thursday, 3 July 1958, at the Odeon Leicester Square. Titanic survivor Elizabeth Dowdell attended the American premiere in New York on Tuesday 16 December 1958. The film disappointed at the box office. However, it received critical acclaim and won the 1959 "Samuel Goldwyn International Award" for the UK at the Golden Globe Awards.The film has been described as "the definitive cinematic telling of the story." Among the many films about the Titanic, A Night to Remember is regarded highly by Titanic historians and survivors for its accuracy, despite its modest production values, compared with the Oscar-winning film Titanic (1997).

Love it! Watched many times. Focused on the ship and not emotionally drowning like '98 Titanic.
Can't believe all the haters that said it was worse in color. thank you for posting this
@@adamirishconundrum851 There it is. The person who screams "HATE!!" at others' opinions. Perhaps we just can't think of any reason to colorize it. Except to cater to the folks who say, " Eww! I won't watch black and white films!", i.e. greed. (Wasn't even a very good coloring effort.)
@@spikespa5208 But MUCH BETTER, than just B&W!!

Just like WW2 not prepared! sad poor were not any way thought of?

They didn't have all the CGI that we have today but they still managed to make this masterpiece. Fantastic film
CGI used too much ruins a movie. To me CGI is a short cut.
@@kennixox262okay💀 they gotta use it in most movies to make the movie look realistic like this looked good for the time it was set but not realistic at all unlike the 1990s one
Yes, but they DID use the best special effects that were available at the time the picture was made. It’s such a shame that the film has been molested so disgustingly with cheap colorization. I’m not opposed to colorizing, but for a film that was the best of its time it seems inconceivable that someone would use the absolute worst possible method to colorize it. It seems like the person or persons responsible must hate this movie.
Hands down, this is the best movie made to date on the Titanic.
This is the best Titanic movie. Well done!
The little kid that was left behind and comforted by the stranger really moved me. God bless their souls!
they didnt make it?
@@SnakeBush looks like they didn't
الدقيقة كم؟
Gut-wrenching. But I still couldn't get over the attitudes of some of the first class passengers, as shown in this movie anyway. In a time of crises and still acting above everyone else. So sad.
@@notgivinup they're what people call nobles, and that is how imperialism is unfortunately
The musicians -- How they stayed there, playing till the end, to help calm everyone, knowing they would die -- Now that was brave!! ❤ RIP.
And the agency that hired them later tried to claim for the lost uniforms !

@@willdixon2349 That's right Jock Hume's dad was presented with a bill from the Blacks
I keep reading about the Band and how they kept playing but, I'm pretty sure it was the Irish passengers in Steerage who kept on playing. 🍀
@margarethooten3007 l recently saw a documentary about how the band played on the thing is the chap speaking said the band did not keep playing will titanic went down well l was shocked but he was related to a survivor and kept saying that. The documentary was from 1960,s so l dont know.
Kenneth More gave an interview (think you can find it on CZcams) where he talks about this film. He said that when it was filmed there were still quite a number of Titanic survivors alive and some came to visit the film set. As the film crew were tilting the stage the wood started to make loud groaning sounds. One of the survivors went white as a sheet. The film crew man told her not to worry as they would edit that sound out in the actual film by moving the stage and then filming. She replied that the sound was exactly what she had heard on the night of the sinking. They kept the sound in the film. This film is by far the best film of that tragic event.
Better than the 1997 movie?? Don't think so. the 1997 flick was much more realistic.
@@educatednegro5897 Yeah there's a large amount of looking back with rose-tinted glasses here. It's a great film, and while clearly not as good as 1997's Titanic, it inspired many of the scenes we see in that movie.
@@educatednegro5897more realistic or more dramatic?
Real people, no stupid love story or blue diamond nonsense & no CGI. I just think this is a much better film.
Some were still alive when she was found in 1985 by Robert Balard.
To think they made this movie in 1958 blows my mind! Better then most movies today with CGI and effects! Stunning movie! Rip to all the souls who perished in the tragedy!
back then, it took an army of master craftsman working at their own specified job to pull a movie of this scale together. nowadays, it still takes a massive army... but they're all working behind a computer. kind of takes the fun out of it. thankfully, a lot of directors are choosing to do things the old way these days.
There is a “Making of” Documentary on YT.
Lies
@@kenjirodriguez1642what are the lies Kenneth?
@@zoiefinnian3540 - The movie is the best made on the topic considering what they knew at the time and the limit of special effects. One flaw I saw was Lightholler in the lifeboat with a sweater. A lady I knew as a child, Elizabeth Mellenger was on lifeboat 14 that pulled him out of the water. She gave him her cloak to keep warm and he gave her his officer's whistle. That would have been nice in the movie and factual.
I am watching this tonight on the 112th anniversary of her sinking. I don't think there will ever be a "perfect" Titanic movie. But this is close in my book. I am crying as I watch. The least we can do is remember the humanity of these souls. 😢 Godspeed Titanic and her crew. You stand relieved of your duties.
This film has aged like a fine wine. Some inaccuracies, but still way ahead of it’s time. No CGI nonsense.
Cameron’s Titanic had very little CGI. Remember he created a full size ship mock-up 😊
But he used CGI to make the model fit in better, as well as with the panning shots of the ship.
Even with a gargantuan budget, CGI, massive marketing and promotion the '97 movie pales in comparison to the '58 version.
No it doesn’t.
@@andrewrobinson8305 opinions are opinions
My favorite Titanic movie because it focuses on the real people who were there. The sets and effects are superb for the time and the acting is wonderful.
That's exactly what I was thinking as well. Very well said
Well to be fair Cameron wanted a more documentary style movie like this but no one would take it until he added the romance angle
The Cameron 1997 film is better lol
@@User_92020everyone has different opinions
@@User_92020 maybe for entertainment, but not truth wise
I didn't cry when the ship sank in the James Cameron version, but that old man with the little boy had me close to sobbing damn it..GREAT film.
I broke into tears,and wept.
The scene that got to me the most was when the father put his wife and three children in the lifeboat, knowing that he would die.
I was cheering for the iceberg in Cameron's version...it couldn't have come soon enough.
@@Cheepchipsable I always cheer for the iceberg it's the real hero of every titanic film.
@@goldman77700why?
“Goodbye, my dear son.” I can’t stop crying!
I want to talk to you about your feet.
Even more heartbreaking when there was plenty of room in the lifeboat for him and other men. Lightoller unnecessarily killed him and took those children's father away from them. Makes my blood boil
@@danielclarke9844 Was it Lightoller or Murdoch? The latter seemed to be more heartless.
It was Lightoller. He refused to allow any men on the boats, regardless. Murdoch allowed men on when there were no more women or children around his side.
I had never seen the whole movie. It hits like a brick. Maybe James Cameron made a fantastic job, but this one seems so authentic. A real human tragedy, without made-up story or sensational views. Just an honest report, brilliant.
...or some self absorbed protagonist.
This was far better than James Cameron's, movie. This focused on the event itself , not some silly love story!
@@John-nz5vd That's the only part I agree with. The love story was silly, but Cameron's film does a far better job at conveying the absolute panic and emotion during the sinking.
@@theslicefactor4590 r.i.p propeller man
@@terminallydrunk1900 rip
This was based on Walter Lord's book where he describes the sinking minute by minute by not only testimonial records but with actual interviews of the survivors. He even lists the entire passenger list, with those who survived in italics.
Read that many years ago, very well written. Well worth finding a copy.
@@sabrekai8706 He also wrote Incredible Victory about the Battle of Midway in the same style.
I have that book. I'll re-read it again. It's so very sad even all these years later
I want to know if any of the Titanic survivors write a book on their experience? I would love to read that.
@@TheShadowSateywhen the film was made it wasn't known for sure that the ship broke into two. It was assumed it had sunk in one piece.
This is the original movie from Titanic. Realistic, showing everything, showing the history for each family, for me, it’s the best movie.
There were several movies made about the Titanic before this.
Lol you people are hilarious, this isn't 'a night to remember ' , 😂😂
They just edited the title in the beginning SMH

Miss him in NCIS

@@TheNotverysocial Harold Bride made $20/mo. It would've taken all his salary for eighteen years to cross the ocean in style
He is the narrator of the 1994 documentary "Titanic: The Complete Story. Part 1: Death of a Dream. Part 2: The Legend Lives On" (which, I think, was produced by A&E).
The scene that haunts me is the moment were the man says we'll find mummy we'll soon find her...😢 knowing that the small child and him are both going to die😢❤
The father of the 3 kids and having to lie to his beautiful wife as he says goodbye, was such a heartbreaking element.
This was based off of a real life account, his daughter stated this in the interview but if i remember the real life story there were two daughters, very heartbreaking
yes this was a haunting-realistic moment acted extremely well...funny i don;t have kids but i [fully]understand the man who got into the life raft when no one else stepped forward--he wanted to live as well...the tragic irony is that more people could have been saved-poor management of life boats--in the end the man who as some would say cowardly, got in the life boat and lived!
@@TheTayedrums Nearly 500 seats on the lifeboats that where available where unnocupied.
@@earthlyactivity3974Mr and Mrs Lucas were composite characters, based on several passenger experiences.
For me it's when Andrew's tells him the ship is doomed. Seconds earlier he'd said "I'm not the panicking kind" and he wasn't, but the subtle facial expression change as he realises how serious it is, is incredible. Literally from the moment Andrews tells him he KNOWS he's probably going to die, and he doesn't panic. He gets his family into the boat and safety by any means he can and goes to his end knowing he succeeded in the one thing he was able to do. Yes, it's a film. Yes, he's a character. But there were men on that boat who more than likely had to do what he did.
The man lying to his wife and kids to get them on the boats gets me every time.
They could had fitted 500 more people into boats. But crew would had needed several Thompson SMGs to do it.
@@kimmoj2570 The crew were afraid lifeboats would break if they filled them right up

@@fmyoung second officer lightoller (autocorrect changed it)
By far the best Titanic movie.
This is my favourite film of all time. It's not schmaltzy like the other Titanic film but strives to be accurate and I find it very moving. The bits where the wives don't want to leave their husbands makes me think of if I were in that situation. Could I leave my beloved partner and go in a boat? No, I'd rather he went and I stayed. Like the old lady said to her husband "we stay together, I will not go". And Kenneth More is superb. My favourite actor. He was in the Navy in WW2 so must have used his knowledge to make his acting better.
yes this is a key scene..a truer test of love --we love together we die together..(that's what strength and love really is--to die with your loved one...and truly be there for each other--she was there for him!!
You’re so right!
This is by far the best Titanic movie, great acting from Kenneth More and it shows the heartache of that awful night.
They both in their own way are great
Yeah, it's my favourite too.
Next in the series will be one about Titan.
The old man and the lost little boy gets me every time.
Have you seen the movie "Saving Titanic?" It's an Irish production I think. It's very good and is on youtube.

I think this is the best depiction of the titanic on screen. Its also cool that there is no CGI. The wizard of oz's tornado scene is scary and great despite the total lack of cgi. Classic movies are the best.
CGI never improves a movie.
and to think that tornado was basically a pair of panty hose!
@@mediterraneanworldI came here to say this 😆
This is by far the best Titanic film. So many mistakes were made along the way. It is hard to believe that it has been 111 years since the disaster... RIP to all the lost souls.
How is this better than the 1997 movie
@@educatednegro5897 Personal preference dude. Get over it.
@@educatednegro5897it didn't have a ginger bint in it!
@@educatednegro5897It tells the true story better that’s how. There’s plenty of true pathos without a ridiculous love story in it.
@@educatednegro5897 It is more terrifying and more historically accurate than 'Titanic' and, despite 'Titanic's love story, more emotionally impactful.
I had not realised just how closely the James Cameron version was a remake of this classic. Even down as far as the dialogue in some cases. Given the filming techniques available at the time, this is a remarkable achievement. Thanks for posting.
Not sure how it’s a remake when they are both about the titanic you know a true event who’s filming was based on survivors testimonies
@@Borninthe80s. Some seemed to have been taken. In A Night to Remember, the Californian operator remarked "Some big bug wants his private train to meet him in New York". In Titanic, Philips remarked "See this one, he wants his private train to meet him, la-di-da". There is however no surviving historical evidence that support these statements, and if it was true, it would not have been present in the Titanic inquiry due to its private nature.
@@tjoonatv2848 , there is more testimony from survivors than just what was given to the official inquiries. There were more than 700 survivors, most of whom lived for decades after the sinking, many of whom talked to the press, talked on film, talked on television, were interviewed for books and periodicals, &c.
Well. Cameron even took Bernard Fox who played Frederick Fleet and promoted him to Colonel Archibald Gracie III.
I saw a movie made in 1996 literally called ‘The Titanic’ and was colorizeds, so i think that was related to the 1997 james camerons titanic
For anyone reading I didn’t even write this I share this account
The Band played on... that was always so tragic and heartbreaking to know they never stopped, according to survivors. Stiff upper lip and all that- I think of it as true heroism.
The band leader was Wallace Hartley. They recovered his body a couple of weeks after the sinking. 1000 people attended his funeral with an estimated 30-40K lining the route.

I watched a video on the Titanic and what happened to Captain Smith and I ended up crying through the last 15 minutes. Even after 111 years it still brings a tear to imagine what these brave souls went through that night. Watching a documentary James Cameron made on his first dive to the Titanic and sent the first remote camera inside of the ship and to see woodwork and chandeliers still hanging is beyond amazing and sad. The Turkish salon with its beautiful stained glass windows with the colours still there! Just wow.
1958?? holy crap!
I'm not going to lie, I forwarded towards the end to see how the ship sinking would look, expecting to see something very basic, but I am in shock. This looks incredible! I'm going to watch the full movie now.
The first titanic movie cameout in 1912
Some of the scenes of the ship in the film were taken from the nazi propaganda film 'titanic' of 1943. And unsurprisingly not credited!
NO! YOUVE SPOILED THE ENDING 😂
I have read the book ('A Night to Remember' by Walter Lord) several times-so much so that today I feel like I was aboard the ship. I have this film on my external hard drive and watch it whenever I feel like it. Having seen this the 'Love Story' film by Cameroon made little impact on me. I disliked it. Especially the love-making scenes. 🥰Lots of love from India.
In the end the ship sinks 😂
This is the best Titanic movie I have ever seen
Even if it is very old the visual effects are perfect for its time!!
This movie makes me feel that I was a passenger with Titanic and I feel all the panic
This movie deserve 100 Oscars and more
It actually won 98 Oscars!
No it didn’t.
It won 82, so stop exaggerating.
What makes this film so good is the historical accuracy.
It hasn't got that, what are you talking about?
ah yes. Like the ship famously not splitting and the comments in the merconi room. So accurate

1:43:23 ......i remember as a little boy, watching this with my mom and sister, this scene would always make my mom start sobbing uncontrollably. I kind of understood why at that age? ...now in my 40's, having a child about to be a teenager, I get it. I really get it.. children are just so precious and meant to be cared after. so here's this kid whose all alone and without his mom. crying as such, not being able to find her. then amidst the chaos, panic and confusion... here comes this kind and gentle man offering to take care of this child. he's not showing panic. he's not showing doubt. he's just keeping a warm voice and helping to "find" this boy's mother. he knows they'll both be meeting their cruel and fateful end very soon, but also knows that this child needs to be kept warm and with spirit for as long as humanly and physically possible. it's just such a gentle and heroic thing to do.
now here I am, in my 40's....and sobbing uncontrollably.
I had to stop watching and go and hug my daughters.
Surely the best without romantic nonsense to cloud the tragedy. Superb, touching, a tribute not to be forgotten: A NIGHT TO REMEMBER.
agree.
Agreed entirely. James Cameron spent so much cash building and furnishing the ship, he had nothing left to employ a decent script writer or hire realistic actors. Compred to this masterpiece, his was a piece of cartoonish trash
@@andrewwilliams2353he script was fine as were the actors and actresses and it definitely wasn’t cartoonish
I was invited by default to NYC premiere. Thought it would be a bomb blasted by critics and public. I was wrong.
I agree. I've only seen the James Cameron version once. Sure, it had more spectacular shots during the sinking, but I was appalled by how the movie spend most of it's time focusing on non-related fictional characters and a nonsensical romance story, that clearly could not have happened that way on the real ship. And I shouldn't even start about that horrible soundtrack with Celine Dion. 🤮
This movie however sticked to the stories told by actual survivors and shows the tragedy in a realistic manner. I would love to see this movie in a higher quality restored with accurate colorization. But I appreciated that I could watch it as is on CZcams anyway.
the couple with the three kids broke my heart so much. The sad part is leaving the love of your life on a sinking boat.
The man who found the lost child on deck when the ship was sinking was a heart rending scene .
Just so you know he ended up kidnapping the child when they were rescued and sexually abused them
@@chuckjones1358No way really?
@@Thesamurai1999of course not, don't believe everything you read.

Yeah that bit really hit me when he was telling him they would find his Mummy.
But it also just dawned on me how many kids there would have been locked down in 3rd class that we didn't even get to see.
Can't believe I watched it until the end. What a masterpiece
SAME
I agree. Cinema is garbage now. This is how stories are told. The book was a masterpiece too.
Hi@@iamtomkills Not only this first book by Walter Lord on the tragedy but also its sequel, "The Night Lives On" (1986) they're both masterpieces
Here's why the Titanic's story will never die: (1) she was the largest movable man-made object of her day, (2) she excelled in luxury appointments, (3) it was her maiden voyage (of all voyages), (4) there were many celebrities of the day on board, (5) there was already a lot of talk about all her features before she was ever launched (including her "unsinkability"), and (6) the Titanic was the first ship in living memory to be sunk by an iceberg. All that said, I don't forget those who died. 1,500 souls is 1,500 souls. The Titanic shall always be in our minds despite herself; unlike the ship itself, the story remains unsinkable
This is the best Titanic version I ever seen
The last scene with the child that the old man was trying to comfort make me cry
What a masterpiece what a brilliant movie so adorable
The special effects are super for the time!!!!
Of all the movies about the titanic this is considered by far the best and closest to the actual events. A fantastic movie.
Doesnt show the break up though, understandably, as they didnt know about it back then.

I saw this movie at age 11 years. It was slow-paced and yet I was gradually pulled in and watched it to the end. Stunning film, dramatically and visually. Thanks for posting.
Yes I too saw this film in Black & White in the year 1968-69 with my Dad.. The very next week we saw "The Guns of Navarone". Good Ol days...
And same for me! That film still haunts me.
I sailed transatlantic four times on the queen Mary two, and every time we passed over the titanic they observed a moment of silence, it still makes me tear up!!
That's so nice 🙏
The best Titanic movie
1:48:32 that old gentleman comforting the kid and assuring him that they'll find his mother is gut-wrenching.
It really is. Kids usually survive in movies, especially older ones, but somehow I'm glad they didn't go in that direction with this film. Many children died on the Titanic, and their tragic fates shouldn't be forgotten.
The old gentleman actor was also the waiter, in A Hard Day's Night .

Everyone in the comments mad at Cameron’s film for not focusing on real people as if Margaret Brown, the Captain, the Musicians, and others weren’t heavily used in the film???? Just say you hate romance and move along lol.
I think they both have their special qualities....
Okay, I hate romance.
Well they did delete really important scene's because of the romance.
@@prasad9002 I don’t know if I’d reduce survivors experiences to scenes. Plus, Cameron’s Titanic is the story he wanted to tell. It’s still just a movie, not a documentary, his choices to make new characters and set them in the real world with a sweeping romance is the reason the film made so much money. Something for everyone. Action, romance, drama, comedy and even some horror.
@@bnm7990 True. Romance worked back those days.
Absolutely first rate. Well-acted with outstanding production values (sets, costumes, etc.). The cinematography heightens the drama of each scene and the director and editor have kept the pacing tight. The mood becomes increasingly tense with the suspense building slowly. Genuinely a classic.
What a great movie! Now in colour! Thank you!
Must admit didn't intend to watch all of this film, but I found it totally compelling and watched it all.. Great cast too, many in their younger days, great to see a young Honor Blackman and David McCallum. It almost feels like history in action.
One of my favourite Titanic films for its authenticity, although I do love James Cameron’s movie too. Great to see this in colour, I’ve only ever seen it in black and white. thank you for posting.
Hello Jeannine, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
This version of the telling of the sinking of the Titanic is the most profound, accurate, and disturbing of all the accounts that were made as far as I’m concerned. There was no dramatic music in the background, no special effects from CGI, no passionate love scenes thrown in, no offense James Cameron, just raw emotion and facts. There were so many emotional gut wrenching moments and when that poor father had to say goodbye to his children and hand his little son over my heart was ripped out of my chest. I can’t even imagine what those poor people went through! No matter how many times you watch these accounts of the Titanic it never ceases to bring up the horrific moments those poor soul’s went through.
May God have mercy on their souls and may they rest in peace, and I pray this for all who lost their lives at sea. 🙏
I didn’t like what Cameron did with the Titanic story. He turned it into a made up love story and added porn. How typical for Hollywood to always have its head in the gutter.
But why didn't this film show the breaking of the ship in two when sinking? I didn't get that
Buddy whines about Titanic being too dramatic yet makes the most dramatic comment on this video.
@@satyakidas7045Not sure if that’s a serious question or not but I’ll take the bait.
This was made in 1958. The idea of Titanic splitting in two wasn’t fact until it was discovered in 1985. Up until then, no one knew for sure. Some survivors claimed they saw it break while others said they didn’t. To this day, even though we know it broke in two, no one can fully agree on how it happened.
@@satyakidas7045 From Wikipedia:
"There was still doubt about the fact she split in two when the book and film were produced. The accepted view at the time and the result of the inquiries was that she sank intact; it was only confirmed that she split after the wreck was found in 1985."
It's always interesting to see how many scenes James Cameron actually outright recreated in his version, specially during the sinking.
Yes, in fact I may set up a video about that.
well...jc's was'nt quite born born when this film was made --he had to get idea's from some body
Considering the wreck wasnt found and not a ton of people knew it split, this was and amazing movie with good actors.
It was well known that a few survivors claimed it split, but WSL insisted it was impossible, and since basically everyone on a lifeboat was in too much darkness to know for sure, the people who insisted on the split were basically overruled.
@@bboi1489thanks 🙏🏽... The media wouldn't believe it split in two
This is one of the best Titanic films and the colourization gives it an extra dimension. James Cameron's version was good but it had a $200M budget and advanced CGI which wasn't available in 1958.
Cameron still used far more practical effects than what we'd see today, it's really a marvel of it's time, using CGI to enhance scenes rather than make up the entire scene. I do like the completely basic practical effects of this one though, takes one back.
not to mention that with all that money, and resourses and after all the time and dedication in to details of sets and costumes, Cameron didnt bothered enough to use real history and decided to perpetuate myths and lies about the sinking from the media of the time... like the passengers locked down or that they were trying to break a speed record, or that they ignored ice warnings. Even today Cameron repeats the same myths as if they were true.
We all know that Hollywood blockbusters about historical events employ some artistic licence and "Titanic" was no exception. It is still a good film nevertheless and didn't win 4 Gloden Globes and 11 Oscars for nothing.
@@ParknestBraceheart won best film Oscar,awards don't make good films
@@ParknestVery true and Cameron version became one of the greatest movies of all time so it was a great success
Probably my favourite version, thanks very much CtJ.
One of the best films ever made. A masterpiece . , Thank you so much for sharing . I cried .
How fortunate I am to be able to see all these different versions of TITANIC. At the time of this writing we are all dealing the loss of the TITAN. I think my opinion now is to just let it be. A sort of Grave to all those lost souls.
Maybe they will leave the wreckage alone now
@@carolannpacificadam1944
One would hope so, but we thought that in '97 too.
You should see how many plaques the pathetic narcissists have left on the wreck. It’s obscene. There’s like 12 of them sitting upright leaning against the wheelhouse (to say nothing of the plaques left elsewhere). One left on the bridge is solely devoted to the “Guinness Word Record for youngest diver to the Titanic”. It’s grotesque.
Absolutely agree with you!
It's all going to rot away eventually.
Great movie..! Very strong...1958...wowwww...still really good...,!
This movie, unlike the ship, shall remain unsinkable
An exquisite example of classic cinema. Wonderful 👍
Thanks for posting this.
Actually just stop and imagine being the captain when Andrews told him that she'll sink, a mathematical certainty. for the next two and a half hours he knew he was dead , for the simple fact that he cannot leave his ship until the last man..... a brave captain
We all know that we will eventually die. He was at least lucky to know the exact time.
He must of been scared out of his mind 😞
It sank because of his stupidity!
@@davemathews7890how's that being lucky?
It was his fault it even went down how is he brave 💀
I have seen this fine film a few times before, and believe it to be the best of the films on this tragic event. It treats the matter with respect and yet imparts the heartbreak, courage, horror and sacrifice of that night.
1997 titanic was better, maybe more dramatic but more realistic and entertaining
Nope. This is more accurate! Entertainment wise you are right.
@@nellgainey2358 but the ship doesn’t even break? And surely the amount of effort Cameron put into this was to make it as historically accurate as possible
@@butteraviation2184The ship did not break because nobody really knew about it. Although it is questionable why Charles Joughins and the others that qent down with the ship and survived didnt tell anyone about the splitup.
@@Masterchief_Tito Survivors of the Titanic did see the ship break in half but when they told their story they were not belived. It was only in 1985 when they discovered the titanic that people started to belive the survivors.
Thank you for the chance to see this masterpiece in the modern day
I consider this the Best Movie about the Titanic they ever made. The Panic on the Deck Scenes were well done and more intense than the 1997 Movie.
Every time I watch this (or 'Titanic' 1997) film I still find myself inwardly screaming 'Miss it - miss it !' every time it gets to the moment where the iceberg's been spotted and the change of direction's been ordered !. Either way BOTH films are extremely chilling !
The sad thing is, if they had hit it dead on it may have still sank but it would have taken much much longer and everyone would have been saved.
@@shakycam3The force of impact would've been transferred to the entire length of the ship though, resulting in even more compartments ripping open. Some experts believe a head on colision would've actually sped up the process
I know, right? Everytime I watch the story unfolding I somehow hope that this time it will turn out differently. Maybe the Californian getting the distress call, or something. It's crazy, but that's how our minds work, I guess.
@@maxwest4820 czcams.com/video/VUNI8GnToDg/video.html
@@Daniela_Germany Me too. I've been fascinated with the Titanic my entire life. Such a tragedy, every time I watch a movie or documentary about it, my heart just breaks for all those people. Gives me chills.
2023 and people are still losing their lives in pursuit of this ship RIP the Titanic 5
No doubt
"Excuse me sir, a message from the Californian, she's nearby and just heard about the Titanic. She wants to know if there's anything she can do?"
One of the saddest lines of dialogue in the entire movie.
It feels more like a spit in the face after they spent the entire night watching them fire rockets and ignoring it could mean something important.
You would think that common sense would have dictated checking the wire when you observed rockets being fired at regular intervals.
I cry every time I watch this for all those poor people..
I have seen this movie many many times but this is the first time I've seen it in colour. Admittedly, the colour did slip at times giving some of the characters a bluish grey tint but that only added to that feeling of freezing cold. This is the first time I've picked up on the 'horse-shoe' that the yachtman pinned to his lapel. I could never previously make out what he was wearing. This was also the first time I noticed the crewman hitting people with the white piece of two by four on the boatdeck to keep them away from the lifeboats. I had never noticed that before.
This film was actually made not far from where I live. The documentary of the making of this classic is also worth watching.
Lol you people are hilarious, this isn't 'a night to remember ' , 😂😂
They just edited the title in the beginning SMH
You're all ridiculous, so gullible
A night to remember is a masterpiece, this is trash....
@@jetstream6389 I have since learned that four scenes were 'pinched' from the Nazi propoganda film Titanic (1943). (I'm guessing they're the four at 11.37). The original director, Herbert Selpin who filmed that film was arrested by Goebbels for making negative comments about the military and then found hanging in his cell.

Kenneth Moore a fine actor indeed & to see this colourized just glorious. This British film won a Golden Globe (USA) for best picture & best British Screenplay & rightly so coz it was considered at the time to be the most accurate of the disaster & the superb cast captured that event so eloquently. Tho it depicts Titanic sinking in one piece only because no-one really knew what happened until discovered in 1985 when it was found broken at the bottom of the sea. Still very sad & the ship & everyone aboard didn't deserve their fate. Good to see David McCallum here & still acting in 2023 at the age of 89.
In that dross NCIS? Poor David...
yeah aint that the truth...good ole DM still acting..wowo!! if more people only knew he was in that movie--i think everyone else in that movie has passed on...:O)
A truly magnificent and well produced film. One of the biggest and most tragic of all disasters.
RIP to those that died.
🙏🙏🙏😔😔💔💔💔
Thank you so much for the upload! I've never seen the colorized version before. I don't care how many times I've seen it, I'll watch anything about or regarding Titanic. And each time, I always hope that THIS time they won't hit the iceberg. This movie was mentioned in an article I read recently titled Hollywood's Most Accurately Made Historical Films. I have to say, I totally agree. My heart just breaks for all those people. 💔
I was happy to see that David McCallum and the drunken baker survived.
This is a great movie I have ever seen
Even they didn't have so much technology with the effects they did it so good
It is a very realistic movie and very emotional in the end
This movie will be forever
Lol you people are hilarious, this isn't 'a night to remember ' , 😂😂

A night to remember is a masterpiece, this is trash....
This film might remain unsinkable (unlike the ship)
This is genuinely heart aching.
My mother took me to NY city in 1958 to see this movie. I still have vivid memories of it. This is the first time I have seen it since then. It has even more impact on me now.
Just watched this after giving the 1997 Titanic movie a re-watch. In my opinion, this movie is much better. Glad the whole movie is available for us all to see.
Considering that it was shot in the 50's, this film is too good
CGI or no it is a good film (I just came back to it as you can tell - for the umpteenth time)
Thanks for colorizing this incredible film
I remember reading this book when i was young, and it started a lifelong fascination with the Titanic for me. The eyewitness accounts were amazing.
Holy Ship!!! Thank you for the coloured upload 😊 I watched this movie 20 years ago. It is very accurate.
I found the 1997 one good but too evolved around the a love story that would not have happened in reality. This movie you got to.see more characters and the how British officers would have behaved. This made me cry More than the
1997. This is brilliant. No CGI or over dramatics
Oh I cried when the husband said goodbye to his boy. Heart wrenching.
True
this version has far more grit--which is what i wanted to see and not some fake love story with a celine dion song(boo!)...when a ship is sinking fake love stops and reality sinks in---and true love- devotion begins --didnt see the jc version till 2010--as i knew it was more hype than grit
A real masterpiece of story telling, fantastic effects given its vintage. The best version by a country mile.
I really enjoyed that movie. It offers a lot of details around Titanic.
I like how this version seems kind of realistic for the most part, however, not after the sinking. Everybody who was in that water would be half dead, not sitting there calm and collected like Lightoller.
Ya. They’re over there acting like the water isn’t that cold. 😂
Excellent! Suprisingly good special effects given the time in which it was filmed.
The work with the miniature models they did here in 1958 was better than some of the miniatures in the late 80’s/early 90’s.
Kenneth More. One of my mum’s favourites. I have also never seen him in a bad film.
I will take that as a recommendation, thank you.

Fortunately he survived the Titanic disaster so he could play an important role in the destruction of the Bismarck.
He was brilliant in 'Reach for the Sky'.
@@partridge9698 And don't forget 'The Battle of Britain'.
There were SO many true heroes of this disaster, but Capt Arthur Rostron of the Carpathia did his absolute best to cope with the information that he was given, after all of the news of Titanic being unsinkable. Captain E.J. Smith did his best on his last voyage before retirement having never faced peril, Charles Joughin (the chief baker on Titanic, AKA the drunk guy in white) survived Titanic's final plunge by clinging onto the stern rail and riding the stern into the water as she sank. His blood alcohol content helped him to survive the 28 degree F water. Then you have the officers, the chief engineer Joseph Bell who passed, and the fireman Frederick Barrett who survived, and the many ship's electricians, stokers, the lookouts like Frederick Fleet, the band along with leader Wallace Hartley, and the many men who stood aside and gave their best to ensure that as many women and children survived as possible. We had so many unsung heroes on Titanic that it's impossible to remember and mention them all.
Edit: Also, the "yachtsman" that limped down that lifeline was 60 year-old Major Arthur Peuchen.
Speaking of the latter, I notice there is no sign of Fleet sitting next to him and Margaret in this version..
In the other film all three of them plus Ruth are seen closely huddling next to each other.
Several of the Titanic survivors reported that the ship broke in two just before sinking. Lord's book, which this movie is based on, provides a drawing from passenger Jack Thayer describing how it happened. However, the official inquiry took the word of First Officer Lightoller who said it didn't happen and in fact, could not have happened.
I read that also but i just dont see how she didnt split into during the sinking she was so long and the pressure of her being up in the air makes sense that it would split into and not simply sink in 1 piece shes in 2 pieces on the sea floor i dont think falling to the bottom would make her split into the 2 pieces are way to far apart and that would indicate she split in half during the sinking!!
@@leachimy24 hope you didn't get that idea from the switch theory
This film holds up today.
Unlike the Titanic it is unsinkable
Thank you for uploading this movie. Just finished it for the first time. Im sure there are many heroic stories especially the men keeping lights and steam going til the end. But dam lightoller really saved many lives that night. He stood up to the challenge. God wanted him to survive and he had a purpose
Wonderful 👏 thank you for the quality upload!
Thank you for posting this. Great movie.
