StoryLine:
The Key (1958) Hindi Dubbed : In wartime England, circa 1941, poorly-armed tugs are sent into “U-Boat Alley” to rescue damaged Allied ships. An American named David Ross arrives to captain one of these tugs. He’s given a key by a fellow tugboat-man — a key to an apartment and its pretty female resident. Should something happen to the friend, Ross can use the key.
The Key (1958) Hindi 720p WEB-DL: Carol Reed’s “The Key” is a forgotten film, or so it seems. It was a rare occasion when it showed up the other night on TCM. This film presents a different side of WWII that many of us are not aware of. We are given an account of England’s way of rescuing ships that have been attacked at sea and the courageous men that commanded those small vessels to bring the damaged ones to safe haven. The film is based on a novel by the Dutch writer Jan de Hartog, with a screen play by Carl Foreman. The film was photographed in white and white by Oswald Morris and has an interesting music score by Malcom Arnold.
