I wanted to make sure this went out today so you guys didn't think I was just re-posting the same old shit because I was lazy. Corporal Allison (Robert Mitchum) washes up on a South Pacific island after his unit is bombed by the Japanese. He finds it uninhabited except by Sister Angela (Deborah Kerr), a nun. Together, they must try and survive the Japanese occupation until they can be rescued by Allied Forces.
This movie mostly involved hiding, now that I try to write a description. They have to hide in a cave for most of the film's run time but it never feels boring. That's a hard thing to pull off. It reminded me of The African Queen, also directed by John Huston, except Mitchum's character is much less curmudgeonly than Bogart's.
