Wow, what a storyline! A Marine and a beautiful Nun are stranded alone on a Pacific island during WW II. They may not have long to live. How will this all end? Answer: it ends in a very entertaining movie. Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison mixes equal parts of sexual tension, religious morality, and wartime adventure to deliver a superb John Huston film (Huston was the director and co-screenplay writer). Deborah Kerr was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, and the film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium. This 1957 film is an excellent example of working within the boundaries of the Production Code Administration to create an adult themed film.
