"A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" (1958) Review

"A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" (1958) Review There have been many versions about the April 1912 sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic. Many versions. And I have personally seen at least five of them. One of them happened to be the 1958 movie, "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER".

Directed by Roy Ward Baker, "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" is based upon historian Walter Lord's 1955 book about the historical sinking. Since the 1958 movie was based upon a historical book instead of a novel, Baker, producer William MacQuitty and screenwriter Eric Ambler approached the film's plot in a semi-documentary style. Even the movie's leading character turned out to be the Titanic's Second Officer, Charles Lightoller, who was portrayed by actor Kenneth More. The movie also featured other historical figures such as J. Bruce Ismay, Thomas Andrews, Captain Edward J. Smith and Margaret "Molly" Brown. Due to this semi-documentary approach, "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" is regarded as the best movie about the Titanic. I cannot deny that there is a great deal to admire about "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER". Not only do I feel it is an excellent movie, I could see that Roy Ward Baker did his best to re-create that last night aboard the Titanic. He and Ambler gave the audience glimpses into the lives of the ship's crew and passengers. The movie also went into great detail of their efforts to remain alive following the ship's brief collision with an iceberg. Some of my favorite scenes include the Irish steerage passengers' efforts to reach the life boats on the upper decks, the wireless operators' (David McCullum and Kenneth Griffin) efforts to summon other ships to rescue the passengers and crew, and passenger Molly Brown (Tucker McGuire)'s conflict with the sole crewman in her lifeboat. But my favorite scene has to be that moment when the Titanic's stern rose high before the ship sank into the Atlantic Ocean. For a film shot in black and white during the late 1950s, I must admit that "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" looked very handsome. Legendary cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth's phtography struck me as sharp and very elegant. I do not know if Yvonne Caffin's costume designs for the movie's 1912 setting was completely accurate, but they certainly did add to the movie's late Edwardian atmosphere. Especially those costumes for the first-class passengers. I do have to give kudos to the special effects team led by Bill Warrington. He and his team did a superb job in re-creating the ocean liner's historic sinking. I am even more impressed that their work still manages to hold up after fifty-four years. The cast of "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" was led by Kenneth More, who portrayed Second Officer Lightoller with his usual energetic charm. More was ably supported by the likes of Laurence Naismith as Captain Smith, Michael Goodliffe's poignant portrayal of ship designer Thomas Andrews, Frank Lawton as J. Bruce Ismay, George Rose as the inebriated survivor Charles Joughin and Tucker McGuire's colorful portrayal of American socialite Molly Brown. The movie also featured future "AVENGERS" and Bond veteran Honor Blackman; David McCullum of "THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E." and "N.C.I.S." fame; and Bernard Fox, who will also appear in James Cameron's 1997 movie about the Titanic sinking. Even Sean Connery made an uncredited appearance in the film, but I never did spot him. But despite the numerous good performances, I honestly have to say that I found nothing exceptional about any of them. Like many others, I used to believe that "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" was the best movie about the Titanic. After this latest viewing, I do not believe I can maintain that opinion any longer. In fact, I am beginning to suspect there may not be any "ultimate" Titanic film. And "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" is not perfect, as far as I am concerned. Many have applauded the filmmakers for eschewing any fictional melodrama or using the sinking as a backdrop for a fictional story. Personally, I could not care less if a Titanic movie is simply a fictional melodrama or a semi-documentary film. All I require is a first-rate movie that will maintain my interest. "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" began with a montage of newsreel clips featuring the Titanic's christening in Belfast. One, the ship was never christened. And two, I could see that the newsreel footage used in the movie dated from the 1930s. The movie tried its best to allow the audience to identify with some of its characters. But due to "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" being a docudrama, I feel that it failed to give an in-depth study of its more prominent characters . . . making it difficult for me to identify with any of them. I realize that "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" was a British production, but I was amazed at the low number of American passengers featured in the cast. The 1953 film, "TITANIC" suffered from a similar malady - the only British characters I could recall were members of the crew. I do remember at least three Americans in the 1958 movie - Molly Brown; Benjamin Guggenheim, portrayed by Harold Goldblatt and a third passenger, whose name escapes me. I was satisfied with McGuire's performance as Molly Brown and the nameless actor who portrayed the third American passenger. But Goldblatt portrayed Guggenheim as a member of the British upper class in both attitude and accent. It almost seemed as if the filmmakers wanted Guggenheim to be viewed as a British gentleman, instead of an American one. Walter Lord's book made it clear that one of the last songs performed by Titanic's band was NOT "Nearer My God to Thee". Yet, the filmmakers chose to perpetrate this myth in the movie by having the remaining passengers and crew sing the song en masse before the ship began to sink in earnest. This pious attitude continued in a scene aboard the R.M.S. Carpathia, in which the survivors listened to a religious sermon. Instead of projecting an air of melancholy or despair, the survivors, thanks to Ward Baker, seemed to project an air of the British stiff upper lip cliche. I feel that a melancholic air among the survivors would have made the scene seem more human. I cannot deny that "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" is a first-rate look at the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic. More importantly, the movie and especially the visual effects still hold up very well after half-a-century. But the movie possesses flaws that make it difficult for me to regard it as the best Titanic movie ever made. Perhaps . . . there is no best Titanic movie. Just bad or well-made ones.

Errors, “Errors,” and Sci Fi

@strawberry-crocodile

tvtropes calls stuff like the wolf example "science matches on" which I think is a pretty fair shake

This.  This is what’s got me thinking so much about errors.  There’s a certain danger, here.  A certain way that this particular effect — delicious dramatic irony — tempts the mind when reading old stories, even true ones.

What do you know about R.M.S. Titanic? I ask my class every year, and the first hand rises.  “It was unsinkable,” the student inevitably says, and everyone is nodding, “or so they thought.”  I write the word UNSINKABLE on the board, underneath my crude drawing of a ship with four smokestacks.  It will be crossed out before the end of the hour, but not for the reason they expect.

“I find no evidence,” Walter Lord, preeminent biographer of the ship’s survivors, wrote, “that Titanic was ever advertised as unsinkable. This detail seems to have entered the collective mind so as to create a more perfect irony.”  Indeed, historians’ examinations of White Star Line documents show the shipbuilders themselves worried it would be so large as to risk collision; they stocked several more lifeboats than 1910s regulations required.

The War to End All Wars (deep breath, satisfied exhale), also known as World War ONE. Chuckle.  Shake of the head.  What if I told you that this phrase, used primarily in American newspapers after the fact, wasn’t meant to be literal? Nowadays we’d say The Mother of All Wars, or One Hell of a Fucking War, but we wouldn’t mean literal motherhood, literal intercourse.  What if I said the armistice and the Lost Generation and the Roaring 20s were all braced for another outbreak of European conflict, and yet we still failed to prevent it?

Did you know they were so confident in the safety of the S.S. Challenger that they put a civilian schoolteacher onboard? I do, because I’ve heard that one repeated many times.  Only, see, it’s got the cause and effect reversed.  Challenger launched on a day the shuttle’s engineers knew to be dangerously cold, because the first civilian in space was on board. And NASA knew its shuttle project would be cancelled entirely, if they couldn’t get that civilian’s much-delayed entry into space in the next two weeks.  So they launched on a cold day, and killed her instead.

These are all what cognitive science calls Hindsight Bias on the personal level, what sociology calls Presentism on the cultural level.  Social psychology’s a little of both, is primarily interested in why you’re sitting on your couch in a Colonize Mars shirt watching PBS and chuckling at the fools who believed in El Dorado.  It wants to know why the mind flees straight from “marijuana will kill you” to “marijuana will cure cancer” without so much as a pause on the middle ground of its real benefits and drawbacks, its real (mild) risks and rewards.

And they can paralyze the sci-fi writer, if you think too much about them. Jetsons is futurist one decade, retro the next.  “There are no bathrooms on the Enterprise,” the creators of Serenity say smugly, as if Gene Roddenberry should’ve simply known that decades later it’d be acceptable to show a man peeing in full view of the camera, nothing but the curve of the actor’s hand to protect his modesty.  “No sound in space,” the Fandom Menace says, “No explosions in space,” and “A space station can’t collapse in zero-G.”  Only then NASA burns a paper napkin outside of atmosphere, transmits music using only the ghost of nearby planets’ gravities, and logs onto Reddit long enough to point out the Death Star would implode in its own gravity field.  And now we’re the ones pointing, the ones laughing, at those earlier point-and-laughers.  Self-satisfied, smug in superiority.  As if we did the work to find out ourselves, instead of just happening to be born a little later than George Lucas.

#errors #continuity #sci fi #presentism #star wars #titanic #world war i #science marches on #history #started a new post because i got waaaaaay off topic here #if you think the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park (1993) should've had feathers #you're a lot more ignorant about paleontology than the people you're trying to criticize #science was not handed down to us in its perfect complete form circa 1943 #stop for a second before you call out someone else's reptilian denonychus #someone else's oxygenated moon #and ask: am i better read #or am i just more recently born?

Small illustration in the end pages of a 1989 Devilman doujinshi credited to Offside and S.S. (most sections inside are dated 1988.) This particular illustration is dated March of 1986. Akira and Ryo are reading a magazine with the cover pages referencing diving robots (presumably deep sea? The Jason Jr. reached the wreck of the Titanic in 1986) and NOTAM which stands for “Notice To Airmen.” I assume that SPOT SAAB J35 refers to the Saab 35 Draken supersonic jetfighter; “85 JAL” refers to the crash of Japan Airlines 123 in 1985 (still the worst single aircraft disaster of all time, and yet there were 4 survivors!); “dutch roll” is a phenomenon of yaw-roll cycles experienced by the 747 involved in the crash (due to the loss of the vertical stabilizer.)

Nearly 40 years ago this artist hit directly on several of my obsessions and I am eternally thankful.

Trans-Atlantic Heart Trade intro!!

It is a romance webcomic set in the 1930s and focuses on the budding relationship between the wireless operators of the R.M.S Queen Mary and the S.S Normandie as their boats become the greatest maritime rivals in existence

Why the name?

Trans-Atlantic Heart Trade (TAHT) for short is a play on words for the Trans-Atlantic Passenger Trade, a booming industry that relied on ocean liners for years until passenger planes became the method of travel,

When will it be posted?

August 31st 09:30 GMT!

What's this account gonna be used for?

General brain rotting, progress updated and a place to throw my characters into the void and as an archive of sorts for all that's made for this project incase of a technology fail

Who are the main characters?

James Peterson is a British male from Leeds who is 27, 6'0ft and pansexual, his birthday is the 6th February and he works on the R.M.S Queen Mary

Georges Gillian Alleman is a French male from the Normandy area who is 26, 5'9ft and gay a homosexual if you will, his birthday is the 18th September and he works on the S.S Normandie

Why boats?

They're cool and I think there should be more maritime romances that aren't Titanic flavoured

What are your thoughts on the Huntsmen, Menlla? Dragon at the very least seems to have a high appreciation of you.

Menlla: I'm proud of them all I greatly appreciate their existence-

Because without them I would've been dead day one here... and my first night was scary because I couldn't use my ship, the s.s. milkshake to leave the surface for the night because of fuel sabotage. The Huntsman Pikmin are my family just like Louie and his pikmin-

pokemon anime 1x15 "battle aboard the st. anne" & 1x16 "pokemon shipwreck"

you had me at hello.

this rather eventful two-parter has team rocket (and not just our trio, but plenty of regular team rocket grunts!) invade the s.s. anne (called the st. anne here because that's what it's called in japan, and presumably they didn't want to re-do all the animation frames that had the name in it for the english dub) after luring as many pokemon trainers as possible aboard to try to steal all their pokemon, leading to an action-packed confrontation with a ton of pokemon of many kinds fighting back against their would-be abductors.

prior to this, we see ash trade butterfree for a raticate, but during the battle he realizes he's too attached to let butterfree go & is able to convince his trade partner to reverse the trade. i love this little bit of characterization on ash, it really shows how attached he is to his pokemon, which again is basically the best thing about ash.

anyway, after several titanic references the ship sinks, leading us into part 2 with team rocket (just our trio this time) & our heroes still trapped aboard!

part 2 finds our heroes & team rocket needing to work together to escape the shipwreck! it's basically a disaster movie, but with pokemon. it kinda rules.

really good two-parter all around.

oh, uh, one thing though? hey, guys?

that is SUPER fucked up. you guys KNOW that's super fucked up, right?

i'm not gonna go all former vegetarian who wishes being a vegetarian were sustainable on y'all, but let's at least draw the line here: PLEASE do not eat pokemon. please? thank you.

April Rare Book Pick: Proceedings before The Rt. Hon. Lord Mersey, on a formal investigation by the board of trade into the loss of the S.S. "TITANIC"

As this Saturday (15 April) marks the 111th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we have decided to feature Proceedings before The Rt. Hon. Lord Mersey, on a formal investigation by the board of trade into the loss of the S.S. "TITANIC" as this month's Rare Book Pick. It was published in 1912 by the Wreck Commissioner's Court and includes a complete transcript of the investigation.

The text includes a number of witness statements which give a fascinating (and terrifying) insight into the experiences of those who survived. Statistics provided also reveal just how devastating the loss of life was, with only 32.3% of those on board surviving the tragedy. As well as witness statements and statistics, it also includes a full account of the distress signals that were sent from the ship.

While the inquiry found no-one guilty of negligence, the disaster led to major changes in maritime regulations to implement new safety measures, such as ensuring that more lifeboats were provided and that lifeboat drills were properly.

The book originally came to the library from the collection of Middle Temple member, Sir Robert Finlay who the Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain from 1916-1919. His signature appears on the title page and his book plate inside the book's cover.

If you are interested in hearing more, the majority of the text is available to access for free via the Hathi Trust's website.

Request: "S.S. Gravy Boat"

Requested by @technomaru It features both Ed and Techno's EEnE OC, Edna, re-enacting the famous scene of the Titanic film. Sheesh, no matter what I do, this image ended up looking blurry in its PNG format... Oh well, maybe I should just stay away from the "A5" format, or whatever it was. Seriously, why are my other images so non-blurry, but this one kept turning out so? Anyway, let's just hope Ed doesn't accidentally drop Edna, and it should be (literal) smooth sailing from here on out.

Alright, so because I'm taking my sweet time in making characters I said I would, I thought I'd at least make some characters that world build a little. So-

Here's Tiara! Or as you may be more familiar with, the Titanic.

Shes Captain Star's only female worker and she basically works ether along side Hercules or she captains the S.S Roxanne. She's a blue whale atlantian, so she's got a little 'blubber' on her figure. Anywho-

Tia is available for asks...

N.S. author, illustrator brings to life stories of those aboard 1873 shipwreck

Author, illustrator, and stain glass window maker Lynette Richards felt compelled to shed light on the largest Canadian marine disaster, before the Titanic, that occurred just off Nova Scotia shores.

"They're buried anonymously at a grave at the end of my road, and nobody knows the story," said Richards.

When the S.S. Atlantic, a transatlantic ocean liner, hit rocks and sank off the coast of Lower Prospect on April 1, 1873, 535 people died. Richards says most of those killed were women and children.

The idea of few people knowing this story led Richards to create her first historical graphic novel Call Me Bill.

"I think that a graphic novel can illustrate with pictures and activate imaginations in a way that a book of words doesn’t do," she said.

Not only does the book recount the rescue and recovery efforts, but it also shares the story of a brave young sailor who was raised as a female, but identified and lived as a male aboard the ship.

"The story as the 'female sailor' as they refer to them at the newspapers at the time, there's enough evidence in the newspapers that that was also true," said Richards.

The book details Billy Armstrong's quest to live an authentic life, and the bravery it took to do so.

"It's always relevant when somebody lives a courageous life," she said.

With the disaster's 150th anniversary approaching in 2023, Richards hopes people will honour the victims, half of whom are buried in a local mass grave, including the sailor.

"Even though they were 19 years old when they died and were buried anonymously in a mass grave, 150 years later they can still inspire us," she said.

heeheehee asks are working now >:3c

First question, who's who on the banner? (I'm assuming it's the 2 protags?)

Second, can you say anything about backstory for the two of them? Like how did they get into working on their respective ships, anything about family life ect?

Super hyped to see what you do with this the premise sounds really interesting!! :33

After 5 years I figured out how to turn them on properly

And yep those are the leads!

Growing up, both James and Georges would have been absolute tech nerds leading to them becoming interested in the marconi wireless systems and eventually going through the courses to become qualified and being put to work with them!

James' first ship was when he was 22 and it was the R.M.S Mauretania one of the uks greatest as she held the blue riband (speed record for crossing the atlanitc) for around 20 years, he served on the Mauretania for 5 years and was promoted onto the Queen Mary since the Mauretania was scrapped alongside Olympic (Titanics older sister) a bit before QM's maiden voyage. I'd assume that his interest in ships started from the sinking of the Titanic since that would have been major news when he was growing up as he was 3 when she sank and he probably would have been there to witness her launch but what would have propelled him into full interest and wanting to work with ships would have been the ocean liners role in WW1 especially Olympic as a troop ship and the sinking of the Lusitania and Britannic because morbid curiosity is enough to set this boy for life

Georges interest would have come much later as someone who didn't much care for ocean travel but was more fascinated by the engineering side of things, if he wasn't a wireless operator dude would have probably become one of the head engineers if ge could. He mainly kept an eye on the blue riband because he liked seeing how ships developed despite the fact he was 21 when the Bremen took the riband from the Mauretania. After WW1, when the French Line wanted to expand their fleet is when he got interested fully, leading him to get qualified and, later assigned to the S.S Île de France for 2 years. He was 22 when he got assigned to the île but had been qualified since he was 19 but worked with his friend Elise in her parents' shop until he got his first assignment to an ocean liner. As his first ship, the Île was set to be his favourite, but he was reassigned to the Normandie for her maiden voyage in 1935

Family life is pretty basic,

James is the middle child with both an older and a younger sister and both his parents managed to survive WW1 but his dad suffers from pretty heavy PTSD after serving on the Olympic during her troop ship days but despite that his dad still loves the ocean liner and referred to her as 'Old Reliable' and cried when he found out she was set to be scrapped

Georges is an only child who was raised by his grandparents and mother after his dad died in ww1 in the trenches, he never really got to know his dad and so keeps a journal logging everything he knows about the man, including a post card of the S.S France he carries everywhere from when they went to America as a family to visit his auntie. Georges found a sister in his best friend Elise Antoine Fenton, and they're functionally inseperable, including working on the Île and Normandie together despite her taking on the role of being a hostess and him a wireless operator
