The Stowaway is a 1958 French-Australian film directed by Australian director Lee Robinson and French Lebanese director Ralph Habib. It was shot on location in Tahiti and is one of the few Australian financed movies of the 1950s, although the storyline has nothing to do with Australia.
There are French and English versions of the film. These versions have different credits, mostly in terms of behind the scenes personnel. The French version is known as Le Passager clandestin.
It was the second of three collaborations between Lee Robinson and French producers, the others being Walk into Paradise and the Restless and the Damned.
