It would be in this one, A Night to Remember (1958):



And there are many scenes which might qualify, but it's been a long time since I've seen it. This is the best version, IMHO. A UK production with a good cast. Based on the book of the same name by Walter Lord, which basically got the story right.

The 1953 Hollywood version, entitled simply "Titanic" with Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck is a stinky soap opera, as is, to a large extent, the Cameron remake. (IMHO).

And for the era it was made the effects are pretty good. In this movie there ks no fictional characters..only historicals. And Andrews comes in it as a leading character along with Cpt Smith and Bruce Ismay.
Btw...in ANTR Frederick Fleet is incarnated by a certain Bernard Fox. This very Fox actor also impersonated Archibald Gracie in 1997 Cameron film.

This comparative video shows how basically Cameron simply copied and pasted some ANTR scenes, and even dialogues, into his own production.....
