Allied Artists released this in 1959. Keith Andes stars as Col. Donald D. Blackburn, a soldier caught in the Philipine islands during the Japanese attack during WW2.
He forms an army of guerrillas out of the many citizens who are homeless as well as several tribes of headhunters who live on the island.
They begin to repel the invaders and give the Japanese a run for their money. This is a standard, but well made film and the actors do the best they can with the material. This is based on actual incidents, and yes, Col. Blackburn was a real person.
The rest of the cast includes Susan Cabot, Paraluman, Nestor de Ville and Vic Diaz.
If you're an action fan you might indeed like this movie. I did, and it was pretty fast paced and it kept my interest, Cabot looks lovely as always and I thought her part was too short, but what do I know.
