Guy Hamilton's Manuela (US title Stowaway Girl), an odd little 1957 British film. An unconventional romance and maritime adventure drama combined. With a great cast headed by Trevor Howard, Donald Pleasence and Elsa Martinelli.

A crusty but kindly middle-aged sea captain falls in love with a beautiful girl stowaway. Insanely romantic and quirky.

My review: https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2021/03/manuela-1957.html
