Twilight for the Gods is a 1958 American Eastmancolor adventure film directed by Joseph Pevney and starring Rock Hudson and Cyd Charisse.{{cite web |title=Twilight for the Gods (1958) |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052326/ |website=IMDb |access-date=28 November 2020}} The story is based on the novel Twilight for the Gods by Ernest K. Gann (though the opening credits read "Written by Ernest K. Gann," implying it is an original screenplay rather than an adaptation). An underlying current in the book is about sailing ships with their long histories being replaced by modern steamers, which is what the title refers to—the end of an era for the square-sailed ships.
