Reviews (1)
To survive an unsuccessful landing in the Pacific during the War, at last, after endless suffering in the beating sun with no water to drink to reach a desert island in the middle of nowhere and to meet a beautiful nun there who has the sexiest voice ever (I have to find some more movies with Deborah!), openly seducing you with every glance, every gesture, who doesn’t succumb to your advances; now that really is bad luck, Mr. Allison. But otherwise, in view of Huston’s talent, the interesting topic of the conflict between loving God/a person is addressed rather naively, but because the chemistry between the central two protagonists works so darn well, this shortcoming may easily be forgiven.
