Adaptation of Charles Shaw's novel about a marine and a nun trapped on a Japanese-occupied Pacific island during World War II.
Notes
-
Producer Eugene Frenke went on to writer and direct The Nun and the Soldier, which is often called a 'cut-down' version of Heaven Knows, Mr Allison, but the former bears littler resemblance to Shaw's novel, other than using a nun and a marine as the protagonists.
