American Guerrilla in the Philippines
$19.99
Directed by Fritz Lang, AMERICAN GUERILLA IN THE PHILIPPINES is based in part on life incidents of Navy Ensign Chuck Parsons. Technicolor on location filming occurred just prior to America's involvement in Korea, although "Guerilla" was released two months after the Sept. 1950 Inchon landings. Timing, plus story content belie a commonly held belief that this was created as pro-Korean War propaganda.

Here, Ensign "Palmer" (Power) flees capture in Bataan by going to the Philippines, where he helps organize resistance to Japanese invaders. Along the way, Palmer gets romantically involved with a Frenchwoman (Prestle) who's a widowed plantation owner. Just when things look bleakest the "cavalry," in the form of Gen. Douglas McArthur (Barrat) and his troops, come to the rescue.
