A marine and a nun alone in a Pacific island
This film is among the best of my collection, when I like to see a good film, this is always in the first line. Robert Mitchum acted here extremely well as a marine with a very poor, not to say vulgar, background in his life. He confessed he was born orphan, he never knew who were his parents, and after 14 years old he escaped from the orphanage and was put in jail several times. His life changed once he was recruited by the US Marine. The always brilliant Deborah Kerr is here a nun with a very character and humor, always able to understand the behavior of Mr. Allison (Mitchum). It is normal that when two persons of opposite sex are together some strange feelings may appear, the mariner obviously may some hints in his favor, but the nun politely said no. In conclusion, excellent film with an interesting plot and wonderful acting, a real good film forever.

one of the reasons i love “old” cinema
Picture a film like this made today. For starters it wouldn’t be called Heaven Knows, Mr Allison! Possibly just Heaven Knows…but even that’s a stretch. The characters would be cardboard, impossibly-beautiful celebrities. There’d be a bad nun joke. There’d be tacked-on, unnecessary action scenes, lots and lots of sexual innuendo, and to top it off a run-of-the-mill love scene…oh and before I forget, the two leads would have gotten together in the end, no doubt about that.

This film is one of the reasons I love old cinema (by old I mean from 1930 to say, 1980 (was born in ’79). This is a fun movie to relax with on a cold Sunday night. The camera lingers on scenery and the performers, we’re never in any real “hurry” to get to the big climactic showdown. The relationship between the two leads goes so far beyond today’s “ooh she’s HOT…ooh he’s HOT” kind of thing, it is REAL, and dramatic on its own terms without the need for a heavy musical score or “insert emotion here” film-making. Well done movie I can watch over and over, which to me is the sign of movie magic.
