Here's a film with a title that might work...

The Night Was Our Friend

1951 - UK/USA - Melodrama
Running Time: 61 minutes
Directed by: Michael Anderson

PLOT DESCRIPTION
This British psychological melodrama stars Michael Gough as a man who is lost in the Brazilian jungles and presumed dead. He returns to civilization, only to discover that his wife (Elizabeth Sellars) has remarried. When it becomes obvious that Gough's mind has been unhinged by the ordeal, his former wife does what she can to help and comfort him. Instead of being grateful, the addled Gough commits suicide, arranging the evidence so that his wife will be accused of murder. The Night Was Our Friend was the sort of second feature on which director Michael Anderson cut his teeth before being entrusted with such loftier projects as Around the World in 80 Days (56). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

There are several lines by Billy Crystal playing Larry Donner in Throw Momma From The Train, such as "The night was dry, yet it was raining."
There's also one by Anne Ramsey, playing Mrs. Lift, in the same film - "The night was sultry."

I might be way off here but one website suggests the quote you may be looking for may come from Titanic...

Bride: Yours-to-keep...
Every day from g-m-o-m
"good morning, old man"
to g-n-o-m
"good night, old man",
my telegraph sends its messages to ships at sea
sending out its dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit
dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit
dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit...
I was young and shy, detached and sad
spent my days indoors, a home-bound lad
hardly spoke, few friends.
I kept to myself to myself,
quite alone.
Then I found Marconi's telegraph;
it could span the planet's width by half
fifty yards, two thousand miles
the same!
touch the spark...Sound the tone.
And the night was alive
with a thousand voices,
tapping out each word,
like a thousand people
joined with a single heartbeat,
tapping out our dit dit-dah-dit da-dit
dit dit-dah-dit da-dit
dit dit-dah-dit da
everywhere...

Never seen the film but could this have been said by Kate Winslet?
