Carol Reed's film about a mystery girl who jinxes her wartime lovers gave Sophia Loren a great chance to prove she was more than just a glamour girl - a chance she took in fine style, on her way to winning an Oscar three years later. It's a gloom-laden film, but Trevor Howard really gets his teeth into the part of the ill-fated Chris Ford. Spot Michael Caine, but don't blink or you might miss him.
