A Night To Remember (1958)....

[Forbin]

But that film is not really about the Titanic disaster.

But it was a film about the Titanic that was a disaster!

Still as hs been pointed out it had a decent score and some decent effects for the time.

And yet, for all the ballyhoo about Cameron's Titanic striving to be historically accurate, it's chock-full of anachronisms.

One of my favourite nitpicks about Cameron's Titanic was made by Neil deGrasse Tyson that the constellations in the sky during the sinking scenes do not match the actual night sky of April 1912. And then when the movie was re-released for the 100th anniversary of the sinking, Cameron actually went ahead and corrected the constellations in the sinking scenes.

Actually, the biggest anachronism in Cameron's Titanic was Leo diCaprio's performance. He never convinced me that he was anything other than a modern guy time-warped back to 1912.

Agreed, though it seemed like Barry might have been cribbing a little from The Black Hole, or vice versa!
