Trivia:
The knife used by Cpl. Allison is a Ka-Bar. It is standard issue for the US Marines since 1942. moreGoofs:
Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, Cpl. Allison's raft nears the island. He slowly looks over the edge of the raft and sees the island, his hair quite disheveled. Then it cuts to a shot from behind him and his hair is matted down (possibly wet from a previous take of when he jumped in the water). moreQuotes:
[first lines]Cpl. Allison, USMC: Let's just keep it quiet, ma'am. You speak English?
Sister Angela: Yes.
Cpl. Allison, USMC: Are there any Japs around?
Sister Angela: You're... You're an American.

I'm wondering if Robert Mitchum ever play in a bad movie. This one is another winner from this great actor.
There's a lot of tension in this movie especially when the Japaneses arrive and set up their campement in the island. The marine and the nun spend a lot of their time in a little cave, trying to steal some food to the Japaneses, and waiting with the hope of the end of the war.
I've never heard of this movie before, it seems to be a forgotten classic, it deserve to be shown for a large audience.
