In 1997, James Cameron released 'Titanic', it broke box office records entertaining and inspiring millions to this day, while breathing new life into exploration of the historic wreck that sank on April 15, 1912.Remember that night, because today Matt and Todd are joined by "CollinsportGirl" Katherine, to discuss the 1958 British Made: A Night to Remember.We're thrilled to be joined again by Katherine who helped us explore a little more of the 'East Wing' at 'The Great House on the Hill' in our 'Return to Collinsport' while we discuss a disaster film now 67 years old and still as impactful as it ever was.Where Cameron's epic is a love story set amongst the backdrop of this world-changing disaster, A Night to Remember attempts to retell it as it was by giving us the closest retelling of the events this side of a modern documentary.What makes this variation of the tale stand out is the 'matter of fact' telling of the events through the eyes of the survivors. This is a well-researched movie, it does make a few errors, but tries to tell what is ultimately a story of mistakes, and most importantly unfathomable courage that leads to survival hundreds.'A Night To Remember' was produced with an enormous ensemble cast, featuring:Whit Bissell Award Winner' : Tucker McGuire as Mrs Margaret ("The Unsinkable") "Molly" BrownWhit Bissell Award Winner': George Rose as Chief Baker Charles JoughinKenneth More as Second Officer Charles Lightoller]Michael Goodliffe as shipbuilder Thomas AndrewsLaurence Naismith as Captain Edward SmithKenneth Griffith as Wireless Operator Jack PhillipsDavid McCallum as Assistant Wireless Operator Harold BrideFrank Lawton as chairman and managing director of the White Star Line J.
