Children of Chance is a 1949 British drama film directed by Luigi Zampa and starring Patricia Medina, Yvonne Mitchell and Manning Whiley.[1]

It was shot on location in Ischia at the same time as an Italian version Alarm Bells, also directed by Zampa but with a different cast. Michael Medwin adapted the original Italian screenplay for the English version.
