1950s British take on Titanic tragedy is a masterpiece.

Common Sense Media
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Kenneth More essays the central role of Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller, and he's the reassuring presence throughout a film that breaks down the incident in powerful fashion.

Creative Loafing
Baker's film wasn't the first to dramatize the lives aboard the ill-fated White Star liner...but it is the best, due to its chilling minute-by-minute reenactment of the steamer's final hours....The film is powerful... -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
4 stars out of 5 -- [A] lucid reconstruction, which forsakes fictional embellishments in favour of documentary credibility and cold, hard facts.

Rating: 8/10 --
(We have) stood witness to a spectacular tragedy that took place on a perfectly unspectacular, dead calm night

Movie Metropolis
Rating: 4/5 --
A film with a documentary-like intensity and a sense of British reserve that makes it all the more moving.

Daily Express (UK)
Rating: 3.5/4 --
While the special effects may not hold a candle to the Academy Award winning work in Cameron's film, they're still quite impressive given the period, and Baker manages to infuse the film with an unflagging sense of authenticity.

From the Front Row
Product Description:
Directed by Hammer horror director Roy Ward Baker, this is another version of the tale of the doomed maiden voyage of the Titanic, told in a semi-documentary style through the eyes of the ship's second officer, Herbert Lightoller, whose duties provided him with a unique perspective of the everyday goings-on aboard the huge ocean liner. An excellent cast (selected for their resemblances to photos of the real passengers) conveys the courage, greed, fear, hope and despair of the real-life passengers. Based on the novel by Walter Lord.
