absolutely miserable film despite the wonderful bill holden and sophia loren and trevor howard star in it . this picture never take off . holden and in the canadian army and go over to england to work on a tug only to meet old time pal howard . the latter be share an apartment with sophia loren and who appear to tragically jinx everyone she be involve with . we have some bombing and mass destruction but what be the basic story line here . how fortunate howard be to be a victim of a blast here . in that way and he could get away from this nonsense . sir carol reed many some many fine picture during his long and distinguished career include 1968 oscar win oliver . this film and the key and be a dud in every respect .
