Review of A Night to Remember (1958) by Arjun C — 06 Jun 2010
All art essentially becomes a comment on the moment of its creation whether it's intentional or not, and this film, made right before the social upheaval of the tumultous sixties, certainly can be seen as just that.
the grand lady as a metaphor for the great empire's dwindling? maybe. underlining the entire work is an implicit call for calm, for order, for ... sanity perhaps. powerful moments played in quiet abound here, making this an exemplary work.
makes one proud to be a brit, even if one is not.
