I first saw this film in 1945 when I was serving in the Air Force on the Island of Morotai. Sitting on an old bomb tail fin and in the open air and in the rain. I remember writing to my parents in Perth WA telling them not to miss it. I am now 79 years of age and of course it is difficult for me to remember all the details of the film, but it was the style of film that impressed me so much that I have been looking for it ever since. Some two years ago I heard that it was played on Foxtel (our equivalent to pay TV) and as I don't have that luxury, once again I missed it. I have now tried to buy it and hope I will get it in due course
