If a war movie can be lovely, this is it. 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 Japanese. 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 is a charming film about a marine who is stranded on an atoll with a catholic nun. He begins to develop feelings for her of course, but she is devoted to the Lord. The arrival of the Japanese make life hard for everyone and the two must go into hiding or risk capture.
I felt this was a courageous and heart-warming tale of unrequited love, and courage. I highly recommend it

I absolutely love this movie. I could watch it over and over again. They just don't make them like this anymore.

I ordered this DVD for my husband for his birthday. I thought I would just give it to him as a belated gift. I received the product within 3 days from the day I ordered it. Excellent seller and product was in A-1 condition.

When a movie's whole cast consists of two people, a lot of its success depends on these characters being likable or at least interesting. John Huston's Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison then is a huge success because of the performances from Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum. Somewhere in the Pacific in 1944, Corporal Allison, a U.S. Marine, floats up on a quiet Pacific island in a life raft after being separated from his men. He discovers an empty island except for one occupant, a pretty nun named Sister ... Read More

Set during the waning days of WWII on an island in the Pacific Ocean, a stranded nun(Deborah Kerr) and a stranded Marine sergeant(Robert Mitchum) face the peril of sustaining themselves on this island which houses a Japanese base. It is foreseeable that some personal feelings will blossum in this situation - the sergeant falls deeply in love and the nun begins to question her vows. This situation is fraught with suspence and even humor as the story line progresses toward a workable solution.
