Additional Information from Movie Mars
Product Description
Sophia Loren stars as Stella in this grim WWII drama. Fixated on the death of a lover who was a tugboat captain, she gives the key to her apartment to a succession of such captains, thereby numbing herself to all emotion while rewarding them for their bravery. Theirs is a risky profession, entailing the rescue of damaged cargo vessels, a job whose high fatality quotient leads to a rapid rate of turnover in the young woman's bed. But when Chris (Trevor Howard) turns the key over to recent arrival David Ross (William Holden), Stella begins to change.
