Stars Robert Mitchum as Allison, a WW2 marine who washes up on a deserted island in the Pacific. Left behind on the island is a nun ( Deborah Kerr ). Allison takes it upon himself to become the nun's protector after the island is taken over by the Japanese. During their fight for survival, Allison falls in love with the nun and the closeness of the two causes the nun to question her vows.
Based on a novel by Charles Shaw, the film, released in 1957,was co-written and directed by John Huston. Huston likes to throw an unlikely pair together in a survival situation. He did this in African Queen with Bogart and Hepburn and does it very well again with Mitchum and Kerr. Out of it all we get a great mix of drama, humor, action and some darn good acting. The dvd is wanting in its transfer but the good story, direction and excellent acting by Mitchum and Kerr makes the viewing still worth your while. :T
Every now and then I will pull an old classic out of my vault and post it here for those of you who may find them interesting and worthy of a rental.
