HEAVEN KNOWS MR. ALLISON
It is a 2nd world war film, set in the Southseas. It stars Robert Mitchum and Debroah Kerr.
Mitchem, a tough US marine, has survived an attack at sea and washes up on what appears to be a deserted island. But he soon discovers the only inhabitant is a nun ( Kerr). For the rest of the film they fight to survive when the island is re-inhabited by a batallion of Japanese soldiers.
There is plenty of action, but the underlying theme here is love as Mitchum falls for the pretty nun.
It is directed by John Huston and you can't help but notice the resemblance to another of his films about a man , a woman and survival: notably The African Queen.
This is a 20th Century Fox dvd and the Cinemascope picture quality is okay, considering the age, but the soundtrack is very poor. Still, it is a film I last saw in a theater in 1957, so I am pleased to have it in my collection.
