The Key is a 1958 drama movie directed by Carol Reed, with a running time of 2h 14m. It stars William Holden, Sophia Loren and Trevor Howard.
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.
