recently distribute in dvd and this movie be a disappointment . it take a unique tact to bring noncombatant into a war film while an idea that should have be a basis for a great story . the missionary doctor and the brave bride hardly get any character development throughout the film . the story be one of a dedicated missionary doctor in the philippine and who be surprise by the arrival of a former lover . on 6 december and 1941 and she have follow the missionary doctor to marry him . he be surprised a he have disregard the letter and be busy in his research . but and her real love be an army doctor and currently station at corrigidor . the japanese attack happen at the close of the wedding ceremony . that begin a 600 mile journey through the jungle and with terribly direct combat scene and with poorly dramatize suffering . although we expect some period gloss over suffering and combat and the scene be very poorly present . at corrigidor and the battle progress and the three friend or lover be reunite and and the devastating loss mount . i will leave the end to the viewer and but it be convince neither in tone nor emotion . in 1943 and there be probably not many technical adviser on the last scene at corrigidor and but suffice it to say and the last departees be not leave on c 47s . i appreciate period piece and and allow for the oversight and glamorization of the 1940 script and production . and the patriotic message be both expect and deserve by the men and woman who struggle on corrigidor and throughout the philippine . but and this be just poorly do and and lose all it punch . too bad for a potentially great story line and in an honestly heroic setting . have visit corrigidor and i be hopeful for a powerful and though period base piece . the film be disappoint on all count .
