Sixth Officer James Moody
- Film Portrayals


Despite the critical role Sixth Officer Moody played, especially during the iceberg collison, he is sadly absent from many films. The 1953 'Titanic' has an unnamed 'junior officer take Fleet's call, while the 1956 television version of 'A Night to Remember' has Murdoch answering the call. Similarly, the 1996 TV series 'Titanic' has Fourth officer Boxhall answer Fleet's call. Here are films in which he does appear by name and is credited:



Michael Bryant — A Night to Remember (1958)
