| Movie Review: |
 - A good movie; see it. dir. John Huston at 20th Century-Fox |
| A nun and a marine are marooned on a Pacific island during World War II, and what results is a wonderful romantic comedy. While the scenario might lead one to suspect rather predictable buffoonery, a look at the stars will tell you that’s not likely. Mitchum and Kerr aren’t slapstickers and the comedy of this film is well written and pleasantly subtle. You won’t be rolling in the aisles, but rather, smiling throughout with an occasional burst of laughter during one of the film’s many unpredictable moments. The performances of both actors are right on throughout the picture and the pace is well moderated by Huston who co-wrote the film. Good dialogue, story and acting make this film one to see. Reviewed: December 24, 1999 |
