Synopsis:

White Sister (1972)
Sister Germana (Sophia Loren), a young nun who took up holy orders after the death of her fiancee in an industrial accident, is expelled from her Libyan homeland by the new revolutionary government and posted to work in a hospital in Italy. She finds it to be a rather relaxed place, presided over by an extremely chilled director (Fernando Rey) and home to an eccentric roll call of patients. Before long, she's starting to bring things to order. The bane of her life, though, is Annibale Pezzi (Adriano Celentano), a happy-go-lucky communist activist with a dodgy leg, who's been a patient so long he's virtually a member of staff.

The Key (1958)
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.

White Sister (1972)
A nun falls in love with her patient, who happens to be a communist.

The Key (1958)
During World War II, tug boats conduct what are called salvage missions - picking up disabled ships. Not well equipped with weaponry, the tugs are sitting ducks for enemy fire. As such, the crew working the tugs have precarious lives, many with deep seated emotional problems. Before the Americans join the war, ex-American military man David Ross is assigned to captain a tug for the British military. He is shown the ropes by an old friend, Captain Chris Ford. Chris currently shares a flat with a young beautiful Italian-Swiss woman named Stella, who came with the flat and who lives a reclusive life there. Chris is the latest in a long line of tug boat captains who have lived there, each who has found another person to take over the flat and the associated looking after of Stella if anything is to happen to him. That person is given a key to the flat, the key only to be used if needed. The first in the series was Phillip Westerby, to who Stella was to be married before Phillip was killed. Chris, who in turn now loves Stella himself and wants to marry her, asks David to be the next in line. David reluctantly agrees. As David learns the pressures associated with his work, he begins also to understand the emotional turmoil that Stella has gone through, which changes his opinion about 'the key'. Stella's view of the key also changes with David.
