    DeBartolo Performing Arts Center
  • Description
    Largely considered by historians to be one of the most accurate filmic accounts of the sinking of the Titanic, <em>A Night to Remember</em> was based on the famed book of the same name by Walter Lord. Similar to <em>Titanic</em> (1997), the money required to film an ocean disaster epic was sizable; <em>A Night to Remember</em> was the most expensive film made in Britain at its time. That money went to a team of technical advisers who used primary sources to create heightened realism through authentic sets. Beyond the technical achievements, <em>A Night to Remember</em> has a novel approach in telling the story largely through the lens of Charles Lightoller (Kenneth More), who served as the second officer on the RMS Titanic.
