Amazon.com essential video:
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

I remember in an interview with Robert Mitchum prior to his death when asked his favorite film without missing a beat he said "Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison". This is high praise from someone who made such classics as "Night of the Hunter" and "The Sundowners". After watching it you can see why. The film is essentially a two character story (the occupying Japanese soldiers are in essence extras) which gives Mitchum the opportunity to stretch his acting muscles. As a co-star you can't have one better ... Read More

John Huston directs this unusual story with Deborah Kerr & Robert Mitchum in top form. Near the end of World War II, a marine gets washed up on a deserted island in the South Pacific to discover that the only inhabitant is a missionary nun. When the Japanese invade, they face another threat to their survival and have to confront the unique relationship that begins to develop between them. While it is essentially a 'two-hander', this special tale has been filmed on a grand scale - on location on a ... Read More

Have always enjoyed watching tough guy Robert Mitchum. This was definitely a change of pace for him. The interaction between him and Deborah Kerr is something to see. Highly recommend it!

The movie is about a Marine washed ashore on an atol in the pacific. At the time it is inhabited by a nun who has been serving the islanders. Unfortunately their peace is short lived as Japanese invade the island and set up guns to destroy the US Naval forces that run between the atol
and other islands. "Mr Allison" has no family and the Marine Corp has been his life. Unerringly he falls in love with the Nun who cannot return his love.

This is one of my favorite movies - time is not an issue. It is about a nun stranded on an island that Japanese have been and left. Mr. Allison
is Robert Mitchum, a marine, who washes ashore. They become friends and the Japanese come back. They hide in a cave with Mr. Allison looking for
food at night. All turns out well and they part to go on their own path.
