American Guerrilla In The Philippines
[DVD]

Description

Based on Ira Woldert s true account, the movie casts Tyrone Power as an American Navy officer stranded after the wreck of Bataan. Along with harassed local - Jeanne Martinez (Micheline Prelle) - he leads a small, heroic band in feats of espionage until General MacArthur s famous return to the Philippines at the end of WWII. From the original 1950 s poster: His name is Chuck Palmer, Ensign, U.S.N.R. He came out of the fire of battle, through wild mountain passes and jungle bush, over seas wide-open to bombers...to the Island of Leyte, of palm trees, shimmering moonlight...and enemy occupation. There, in the village of Tacloban he saw her, the dark-eyed girl her face firm with a hardness, belied by the softness of her lips. And they fought together, the war of the guerilla... A motion picture to excite you, to impart a rich and deeper meaning ... because it was true.
