A Night to Remember by Jeffrey Richards

On the night of 14-15 April 1912 during her maiden voyage Titanic struck an iceberg and sank, losing most of her passengers and crew.

This text examines the film's place in the continuing generation of Titanic mythology. He analyses the film, unravels its production history and reception, and compares it with the other Titanic films, notably James Cameron's recent blockbuster Titanic.
