    Editorial Reviews

    A two-person character study directed by John Huston, Heaven Knows Mr. Allison stars Robert Mitchum as a World War II Marine sergeant and Deborah Kerr as a Roman Catholic nun. Both nun and sergeant are marooned on a South Pacific island, hemmed in by surrounding Japanese troops. Mitchum does his best to make the nun's ordeal less painful, but is torn by his growing love for her. Kerr is equally fond of Mitchum, but refuses to renounce her vows. Their unrealized ardor mellows into mutual respect as they struggle to survive before help arrives. Based on a novel by Charles K. Shaw, Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison was coproduced by Eugene Frenke, who later filmed a low-budget variation on the story, The Nun and the Sergeant (62), which starred Frenke's wife Anna Sten.

    April 27, 2009: This is one of my favorite movies and the fact that I could find it again was fantastic. The story is wonderful and has the refernces of a higher power that can inspire those that don't understand it. The acting sometimes can be corny and and the entire story has some writing flaws, but the lead actor/actoress/ are great and lead a story that is not sexy or preverted but good entertainment. Yes it does take place during WWII and has very limited violience depicted but the story is more about the people than the war and not more than a PG rating.
