The Key (1958)


This review is on The Key from 1958, starring: William Holden, Sophia Loren, Trevor Howard, Kieron Moore, Bernard Lee and directed by Carol Reed.

David Ross (William Holden) is a Canadian sergeant brought to England for a perilous mission: to captain a tugboat responsible for bringing in crippled ships damaged by German torpedoes. Assisted by old friend and fellow captain Chris Ford (Trevor Howard), David is taught the ropes and offered a key to an apartment shared by Stella (Sophia Loren).



This is a SONY Pictures Choice Collection release and has a pretty good video and audio with the no special features. The film is presented in b&w, Widescreen and runs for about 126mins (2hr 6mins).

I would give this film a 7.5/10 and the DVD a 3.5/5. Overall this is a great DVD release and is a film I would recommend.
