A Night to Remember

Dramatic poster advertising the influential 1958 film ‘A Night to Remember’. 

The film was an adaptation of Walter Lord’s book of the same name, published in 1955. Lord had interviewed sixty-three Titanic survivors when carrying out his research. 

Both book and film were highly successful and led to renewed interest in the story of Titanic.

The film was produced by William MacQuitty who was born in Belfast in 1905 and became a film producer, writer and photographer.
