I thought that Rita Moreno wanted to break out and have someone sing for her as was done two years before in her supporting Oscar win for "West Side Story."
This picture, as far as I was concerned, was a first-class stinker. You don't feel a World War 11 atmosphere in the Philippines. The Japanese enemy is rarely seen and you begin to wonder who the good and bad guys are in the film.
The Van Heflin role as Joe is so complex and complicated; you don't really know where he is coming from. Rita Moreno is not exactly Pilar (Katina Paxinou) in 1943's "For Whom the Bell Tolls."
James MacArthur, as the spoiled son of a wealthy American businessman stranded in the area, is about the only bright spot in this rather dull film.
