Wissenswertes
It would seem evident that the woman decorated at the end of the movie was the real Claire Phillips. There could be no other reason for director Lesley Selander to use a woman other than Ann Dvorak, who played Claire, in this scene.

Patzer
When Japanese planes are shown bombing Philippine targets, a short clip of American Boeing B-29s is included.

Zitate
Pacio: High Pockets is alive, Compadre. I know. They torture her.
Thompson: I don't believe it. They'd have killed her first thing.
Cpl. John Boone: Shut up. How'd you find out?
Pacio: Fely. She take food in prison. Find out High Pockets alive.
Cpl. John Boone: All right, get your gear. Mac, hustle 'em up.
Thompson: Now, don't jump the gun. This boy could be wrong.
Cpl. John Boone: So what? There's still a chance.
Thompson: Look, our troops are on their way back. A full invasion. If she's alive, let the army rescue her. We can't go down there with a handful of maniacs tryin' to take a prison.
Cpl. John Boone: [ignores him] Like I said, Mac, get the men.
Cpl. John Boone: [grabs Thompson by the shirt] Listen, fella'. Your belly's full. High Pockets fed ya'! She sang for your supper. She kept your stinkin' frame together when the worms were standin' in line, just waitin' to crawl. Now *you're* gonna' do some singin'... with this!
Cpl. John Boone: [thrusts a heavy machine gun into Thompson's arms] Either that or I'll blow your whining brains out!
Cpl. John Boone: [to all the men] All right, let's go! Everybody, come on! Move it! Dig it out of the grass! Come on!

Enjoyable...but what is the TRUE story of Claire Phillips?

During WWII, Claire Phillips was stuck in Manila after the Philippines fell to the Japanese. Following her husband's death, she apparently became an important member of the underground...though she did it in wide open as a hostess of a night club. The story is interesting and should have been made...but there is one serious problem. It seems that Claire was a liar. Yes, some of this DID happen but later when folks began investigating her claims, they found many exaggerations and outright lies. It's a shame...but the film still is entertaining and worth your time.

In the lead is Ann Dvorak. It's one of her last films and she was good in the role..particularly because she was older and less glamorous...and looked a lot like Phillips. The direction and production were all good...and the only reason I don't give the film a higher score is due to the dubious nature of the details of her exploits.
