I love "A Night to Remember" and, except for some special effects, prefer it over the Cameron take. It is not my favorite telling of that fateful night however. That honor goes to "Titanic" (1953) which features the sterling performances of Clifford Webb and Barbara Stanwick as a wealthy couple whose marriage is on the rocks. Only the presence of their young son keeps these two from taking axes to one another. There's also a minor shipboard romance involving a young Robert Wagner but that's just for window dressing. The twist at the end (I won't ruin it) is a gut punch far beyond either of the other films provide and that to me makes it a cut above.
Worf
I saw that one a long time ago as your description of the Stanwyck-Webb marriage rang a bell, but now I want to see it again.
