Summary

Historical drama starring Kenneth More. April 1912: on her maiden voyage to New York, the liner Titanic is crowded with the rich and the fashionable of Europe and America. The ship is the pride of second officer Herbert Lightoller and designer Thomas Andrews, but disaster looms for the vessel they think is "unsinkable".

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

David Parkinson

While this drama about the sinking of the Titanic can't compete in terms of spectacle with James Cameron's multi-million-dollar 1997 blockbuster, it still manages to present the facts of the disaster in a deeply moving and compelling manner. Basing his film on Walter Lord's meticulously researched book (adapted by Eric Ambler), director Roy Ward Baker opts for a documentary style that focuses on the human interest angle without recourse to melodramatics. The result is a gripping account of the tragedy, impeccably acted by a sterling British cast headed by Kenneth More as heroic second officer Herbert Lightoller, from whose perspective we see events unfolding.
