Movie Reviews of A Night to Remember - Criterion Collection
Movie Review: Extraordinary movie, but be careful with your disc...
Summary: 4 Stars
There's not much more to be said about this, the *definitive* Titanic movie.
But be careful about the DVD. Mine "rotted", and is now unplayable. Search the Web - it seems to be a common problem. Criterion replaces any unplayable copies free of charge. Just be sure to check this disc every now and then - it's a gem.
Movie Review: Accurate and entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
Except for occasional profanity, this version of the Titanic story is far better than the current special-effect-filled version. Intense, tender in places, captivating, and suspenseful, it tells an accurate story of the drama of the Titanic as told from records of survivors with no erotic "love story" to impede the story line. If you enjoyed the recent movie, you should like this older version more. But then, I personally enjoy the older movies, especially English ones with superior acting.Movie Review: Best Titanic Movie Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
After my dissapointment in the documentary of the Titanic I watched this version of the disaster. This was by far the best Titanic story I have seen and I've seen them all. The black and white doesn't even bother me. Spends more time on the actual disaster. Most of the Titanic stories turn into a soap opera. This one does not. Then there is an added bonus of the movie played again but narrated by 2 men that are experts in the disaster that explain everything. So you get 2 stories for the price of one. Worth the purchase.Movie Review: Still THE definitive Film About Titanic
Summary: 5 Stars
No, there's no CGI in this film, no box office stars or the over blown melodrama that comprised James Cameron's version, but the drama and the tragedy of the Titanic is beautifully brought to life in this 1958 master piece. Though some will argue that it was not all together fair to the captain of the doomed liner, it is VERY faithful to Walter Lord's book. Heartbreaking and brilliant. Well worth owning.Movie Review: Titanic story interpreted through a 1950s lens...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent movie that I vaguely remembered seeing on TV years and years ago. I just saw it the other night on TMC. It's actually pretty good and it's obvious that the much of the modern-day "Titanic" (1997?) was based on this earlier movie. Some of the scenes are recreated almost word-for-word. There is no "Jack and Rose", however, there is a young couple who insist on going down in the ship together. It's also very interesting to see the Titanic story interpreted through a 1950s lens as opposed to a 1990s lens. The 50s version places more emphasis on religiousity; the 90s version places more emphasis on hedonism.
