Title: A Night to Remember (IMDb)

Released: 27th March 2012
SRP: $29.95 (DVD)
Further Details:
The Criterion Collection has announced DVD ($29.95) and Blu-ray ($39.95) releases of A Night to Remember for March 27th. As well as undergoing a new high-definition digital restoration, each will include a commentary by Don Lynch and Ken Marschall, a 60 minute Making of "A Night to Remember" (1993) documentary, an archival interview with Titanic survivor Eva Hart, a 45 minute Swedish documentary from 1962 ("En natt att minas"), the trailer, and a booklet featuring an essay by film critic Michael Sragow.


Quote: On April 14, 1912, just before midnight, the unsinkable Titanic struck an iceberg. In less than three hours, it had plunged to the bottom of the sea, taking with it more than 1,500 of its 2,200 passengers. In his unforgettable rendering of Walter Lord’s book of the same name, A NIGHT TO REMEMBER, the acclaimed British director Roy Ward Baker (Don’t Bother to Knock) depicts with sensitivity, awe, and a fine sense of tragedy the ship’s final hours. Featuring remarkably restrained performances, A NIGHT TO REMEMBER is cinema’s subtlest, finest dramatization of this monumental twentieth-century catastrophe.
