Thus in this film, unlike "Titanic" of 1954 or "A Night to Remember" of 1958, the ship is not shudderingly gashed by the berg but merely penetrated by a stiletto of ice, spreading 12 square feet of damage over 300 feet of hull.
One beauty of the movie is that it never overshadows Roy Baker's marvelous 1958 film of Walter Lord's A Night to Remember, which is a clinical, semi-documentary dissection of the luxury liner's sinking.
Probably the best film ever made about this tragedy is a 1958 film called "A Night to Remember."
The movie can't compete with "A Night to Remember" (1958), which remains the truly essential film about the disaster.
Hollywood first gave it a go in 1953 in Fox’s “Titanic,” with the British “A Night to Remember” following to general acclaim in 1958.
(For a film that does all of these things better than Titanic, see A Night to Remember .)
The Bigger Picture: We hate to say it, but while Abrams was trying to channel E.T. , The Goonies , and The Monster Club , he accidentally ended up reminding us of M. Night Shyamalan instead.
Anyone whose seen a Hammer film or read an EC Comic ( Tales from the Crypt , The Vault of Horror ) will see the surprise coming.
