The Fairfield Public Library invites you to join with us in celebrating One Book One Town during the month of March. There will be a film screening of A Night to Remember on Sunday, March 4 at 2 pm. The film will be shown at the Fairfield Woods Branch Library, 1147 Fairfield Woods Drive.
A Night to Remember is a 1958 film adaptation of Walter Lord's book A Night to Remember (1955), recounting the final night of the RMS Titanic. It was adapted by Eric Ambler, directed by Roy Ward Baker, and filmed in the United Kingdom. The production team used blueprints of the ship to accurately create the sets, while Titanic fourth officer Joseph Boxhall and ex-Cunard Commodore Harry Grattidge both worked as technical advisors on the film. The film premiered in the United Kingdom in 1958. A Night to Remember won the 1959 Samuel Goldwyn International Award for the United Kingdom at the Golden Globe Awards. The Titanic was the largest vessel afloat, and was widely believed to be unsinkable. Her passengers included the cream of American and British society. The story of her sinking is told from the point of view of her passengers and crew.
