William Holden, Sophia Loren and Trevor Howard starred in the production.
The key to a flat in wartime Britain may augur bad luck for a succession of tug captains of the Royal Navy whose task is to rescue crippled ships in" U- boat Alley."
As each takes possession from his unfortunate predecessor, the flat's other occupant, a Swiss expatriate named Stella, apparently goes with it.
The latest captain struggles with his conflicting fears and affection for its apparent jinx.
