Absolutely miserable film despite the wonderful Bill Holden, Sophia Loren and Trevor Howard starring in it.
This picture never takes off. Holden, in the Canadian army, goes over to England to work on a tug only to meet old-time pal Howard. The latter is sharing an apartment with Sophia Loren, who appears to tragically jinx everyone she is involved with.
We have some bombings, mass destruction but what is the basic story line here?
How fortunate Howard was to be a victim of a blast here. In that way, he could get away from this nonsense.
Sir Carol Reed many some many fine pictures during his long, distinguished career including 1968's Oscar winning "Oliver!" This film, "The Key," is a dud in every respect.
score 1/10
