To the royal family, "Dickie" Mountbatten is a favorite blood relation (he is both Elizabeth's cousin and Philip's uncle); to Britain's political leaders, who keep advancing him, he is a diplomat-sailor with charm, foresight and savvy; to his fellow officers he is courageous and capable; to the newspaper-reading public he is part hero, part legend, handsome and dashing.

As she sidles up to him mooing small endearments, the poor bull just stands there looking cowed. The third answer is very Hollywood but sort of tedious. When a nice young sailor (Stephen Boyd) kills that nasty uncle, Brigitte helps him to escape. Night falls, and they hide out in an abandoned mill, a gypsy camp, a cave. On they go, one jump ahead of the police, until the censor has had just about all he can bare...
