Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzSuperb performances by Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum help make this lightweight survival pic a small gem.
Film Journal International - 7/10 by Daniel EaganSolider and nun on Pacific isle during WWII. More dutiful than fun.
User Review - 10/10 by Ashley HHeaven Knows Mr. Allison is an incredible film. It is about a marine and a nun form an unlikely friendship. Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr give amazing performances. The screenplay is well written. John Huston did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the adventure and drama. Heaven Knows Mr. Allison is a must see.
User Review - 10/10 by Kevin RYou will be my dear companion always. Always. During World War II the Americans and Japanese are hard at war in the Pacific. A marine escapes a submarine battle on a life raft and washes up on an island where a deserted nun lives. The nun suffered a tragedy during the war herself and just happened to wash up on the same island where she survives alone on the local resources. The two of them will try to escape the island to safety without being caught in the middle of the battle. The marine swears to protect the nun with his life and a unique bond forms. "Are you different from other nuns?" "I don't think so." John Huston, director of The Maltese Falcon, Key Largo, Annie, The African Queen, The Treasure of Sierra Madre, The Asphalt Jungle, and Moulin Rouge, delivers Heaven knows Mr. Alison. The storyline for this picture is so well done. The characters are perfectly developed and unveiled to the audience. The acting was wonderful and the cast includes Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum. "God might tell us what's going to happen." I DVR most of John Huston's work and I found this one of my favorite pictures of his (and that's saying a lot when you consider his work with Bogart). The characters tug at each other's hearts throughout the movie and you see the characters struggling with their own inner emotions. I adored how the entire picture unfolds and strongly recommend seeing this picture. "Tell me there's a chance." Grade: A+
User Review - 10/10 by David HA wonderful Love Story in Front of the WWII on a beautiful Pacific Island. Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerra are a great Couple.
User Review - 10/10 by Ice RA definite personal favorite, with both Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr giving amazing performances. The character development is so rich. It is believably done, such perceptive direction. A truly great classic that is always interesting. Brilliant.
User Review - 10/10 by blair kThis was a really good movie. It didn't end the way I thought it was going to. It's right up there with Father Goose for the non-traditional war movie.
User Review - 10/10 by daniel rThis movie just throws a devout nun, and a U.S marine together. On an island alone during the Korean "conflict"!! It is a must to see !
