I enjoyed the bucolic barrio and lush jungle scenery; the Manila nightclub scene, chock full of winsome and willing hostesses; the exploits of Filipino guerrillas, male and female; the ocean, beach, and river settings. All ring true, based on the time I lived in the PI, and based on my mother’s photos and tales of living and working for the Army in Manila in 1946, six months after the war ended.

The US Navy ship YW103 was a self propelled water barge (with no name given). Struck from the US Naval Register, date unknown, final Disposition and, fate unknown. Although it is mentioned in Navy records it became custodian of the PHILIPPINES date unknown. The closest YW designation I could find with any information was YW94 Placed in service in 1944, to see YW103 running around in a 1961 movie made in the Philippines makes me think this ship has a story to tell. It must have been in the Philippines during WWII. Thanks for uploading this movie.

The Shanghai Marines were transferred out of China to beef up the Philippines just before Hostilities began! I've always wondered what happened to all the retired military Living in China during the War? There must be hundreds of untold stories of Survival!

Starts out a little corny and stereotypic but the action doesn't stop, and you just can't avoid getting into a decent action War movie. Not bad. Watch & enjoy. Thanks.

Really dragging the bottom of the studio B movies with this one. The color made a noticeable difference. Nothing wrong with MONTGOMERY quite a hunk of a man. This type of .mission was suicidal. After occupation yes there were cases of American active duty GI s hiding out with filipino resistance.

Philippines December 25th 1941? Really? How many here were unaware the Pearl Harbor attack happened December 7th 1941 and the Japanese invaded the Philippines December 8th, 1941? These people at this time wouldn't be going on weekend passes, they were either in the hills, being death marched on the Bataan peninsula or being worked to death in a Japanese POW camp. MacArthur really screwed the pooch on this one.
