John Huston directed this touching World War II story about a Marine (Robert Mitchum) stranded with a nun (Deborah Kerr) on a Pacific island overrun by J...( read more read more... )apanese. After initial antagonism, the resulting kinship between the two characters is human and civil, even after Mitchum's grunt understandably falls in love with his unlikely companion. The action scenes, in which the pair works together to stay ahead of the enemy, are first-rate. The actors have never been better, and Huston's perennial theme about destiny's denial of our dreams is achingly clear in this essentially two-person drama. --Tom Keogh

    This movie just throws a devout nun, and a U.S marine together. On an island alone during the Korean "conflict"!! It is a must to see !

    Mitchum and Kerr make a great team in this surprisingly engaging wartime story. The marine and the nun are trapped on a Pacific island by the retreating Japanese army. The joy of the film is in the acting - both are excellent. Mitchum has never been sexier!
