I read the book again before watching the movie. It is a strange book with the characters enjoying life in spite of knowing there were only a few months to live. They are having parties and shopping for cribs and toys. They dont seem to be too intelligent with no thoughts on how to face the future. They are more concerned on the quantity of wine left in the club. And this loose woman is after a married man who does not accept his family is dead. He buys a diamond for her! I think the producers wanted to give this woman some class by casting Ava Gardner. Death is taken so casually in the book. I dont know about the Aussies but no American captain of a submarine would give up that easy.
