Surrender - Hell!

Based upon the 1955 memoir by Lt. Donald D. Blackburn (1916-2008), played here by tall blonde hunk Keith Andes. Most of the dialogue appears to have been post-synced, hence the almost non-stop narration by Andes that quickly grows monotonous; but compensated for by photography that is in places remarkably good.

The one luxury granted the lieutenant upon finding himself stranded upon a remote island in the Philippines would appear to have been second-billed Susan Cabot (SPOILER COMING:), but she actually drops out of the action surprisingly swiftly. Fortunately she's almost immediately replaced by the equally hot local star Paraluman, who has special billing and an almost identical chic fifties bob to Miss Cabot's.
