"Sea Wife" (1957) is a British film, shot in Jamaica, based on the 1955 James Maurice Scott novel "Sea-Wyf and Biscuit". [ [http://www.its.berkeley.edu/library/cruel/summaries/scottjm.html Scott, James Maurice "Sea-Wyf and Biscuit" ] , Daniel C. Krummes, Cruel Seas: World War 2 Merchant Marine-Related Nautical Fiction from the 1930s to Present, Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Berkeley] Set in 1942, it tells of the conflicts among a group of survivors aboard a small lifeboat from a torpedoed British refugee ship: a beautiful young woman (nicknamed "Sea Wife"), an army officer ("Biscuit"), a bigoted administrator ("Bulldog"), and a black seaman ("Number Four"). The story, told in flashback, is revealed through Biscuit's later search for Sea Wife, with whom he has fallen in love, unaware that she is a nun.
