I caught this film on AMC and found myself drawn into watching it to the conclusion.
Everything you need to know is set rather early in the film. From there, plot complications help move the story to a solid finish.
There's a great parallel between the Corporal and the Sister. Each dedicated themselves to their respective vocations. Corporal Allison dedicated his life to the Marines. Sister Angela dedicated her life to her religion.
The two face questions of their individual perseverance and continued dedication.
Mitchum and Kerr played their roles well. The film looks and plays fantastic in 2006. Huston's WW2-era film is a precise and efficient gem.
