    Jeffrey Hunter is top-notch as the only U.S. soldier on Guam not captured by the Japanese forces.

    During the early Pacific war years , the Japanese invade island of Guam , as seaman Tweed and his colleagues attempt to escape . Little by little the American seaman named George Tweed : Jeffrey Hunter , becomes the only serviceman living in Guam and being mercilessly pursued by the Japanese during the early years of World War II . He is befriended by some of the islanders and assisting him in the evading and traveling to a secure place . Step by step he saves his life and remains in hiding there until the US Navy goes back providing information enough about bases and gun locations .

    This classic warlike movie based on the true story of George Tweed, an American sailor , well played by Jeffrey Hunter , who became the only serviceman on the island of Guam to avoid his capture and along the way delivering targets to an American destroyer when it approaches by contacting them to warn them of shore artillery . This soldier was nicely starred by Jeffrey Hunter at one of his best and unknown roles as a two-fisted soldier George Tweed , an American Sailor from Minneapolis stationed on Pre-war Guam at a radio relay station , he's well accompanied by a plethora of sympathetic secondaries , all of them form the small group of charming actors endeavouring to flee from cruel Japanese army . Stirring actioner/drama warfare completed with slice of military stereotypes although some characters are very one-dimensional . Adding a romantic relationship developing between Tweed/Hunter and the daughter of his benefactor , the attractive Barbara Perez . This agreeable wartime saga results to be a a good film dealing with war in human terms . Here directors have a sensitive handling of actors and provide an exact compositional sense . Two filmmakers handle in all -especially human relation scenes as well as battle set pieces - with flair play and vigour . There is a fair bit of flag-waving and patriotism , but that was just what was needed when the picture was made . It may not be an awesome film , but this is a sensitive and well made war epic . This colorful movie contains action , breathtaking battles , thrills , historical events , romance , and the battle scenes are impressively made with special mention at the end as our starring is besieged on the beach while attempting to be taken aboard ship . Stalwart main cast , Jeffrey Hunter along with a minor acting by Marshall Thompson , both of whom provide splendid interpretations . Being stunningly supported by a large plethora of Philippine actors , mainly the beautiful eye-catching Barbara Perez , Ronald Remy , among others , and all the Philippine supporting actors spoke Tagalog rather than Chamorro . The film is set into a lush , abundant jungle , shot entirely in the Philippines, with nice cinematography in technicolor by Carl Kayser , though a perfect remastering being extremely necessary. The film though set in Guam was completely filmed in Tamaraw Studios, Metro Manila, Philippines and Universal Studios 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, California . Being freely based on the 1945 book "Robinson Crusoe, USN" by George Ray Tweed and script by Richard Goldstone and John Monks Jr. who produced and directed , as well. This filmmakers were notorious producers and writers , though directed a few movies .

    This ¨No man in an island¨ is one of a handful of feature films that have featured the story of the World War II , set in Philippines or others Pacific Islands , many of them revolving Battle of Bataan or dealing with American soldiers supporting native Guerrillas , they include as follows : ¨Bataan¨ (1943) by Tay Garnett with Robert Taylor , ¨So proudly we hail ¡¨ by Mark Sandrich (1943) , ¨They were expendable¨ (1945) by John Ford with John Wayne , ¨Back to Bataan¨(1945) by Edward Dmytryck with John Wayne , Anthony Quinn , Beulah Bondi and ¨American Guerrilla in Philippines¨ (1950) by Fritz Lang with Tyrone Power , Micheline Presle , Robert Patten, Tom Ewell .

    Connectivity To An Island

    George Tweed (Jeffrey Hunter) is an American Navy man scheduled to leave the Pacific island of Guam and return to the U.S on December 7, 1941. But that's the day that Japanese planes bomb Pear Harbor. And Guam is now under surprise attack as well. Tweed and four of his Navy buddies have a choice. They can surrender to the enemy on Guam, or they can make a run for it. They decide to run. Not all of them survive.

    The title "No Man Is An Island" refers to a poem by English poet John Donne. The idea is that each person is connected to his or her surroundings. In the case of Tweed and his buddies, this connectivity comes in the form of substantial help they receive from Guam natives, sympathetic to Americans. And not all helpers are adults; some are children. This assistance, which comes with great sacrifice, is basically the theme of the film.

    Except for the Japanese enemy, most of the characters are likable, including Tweed. And his story on Guam is one of drama and adventure, as he draws on his own inner resourcefulness and courage to survive, to augment the help from others. I also like the Mrs. Nakamura character (Chichay), a native Asian woman, small in stature, but with a big heart. She is shrewd and spunky, as she endures the idiocy of those around her.

    Cinematography is acceptable for the era in which the film was made, but suffers in comparison to modern films. The use of day for night camera filters is obvious. And stock war footage, especially near the beginning and at the end, convey a cheap look and feel. Background music is annoying as it is so nondescript. Casting and acting are acceptable.

    The film is based on a true story. Whether all the plot points are historically accurate or some script liberties have been taken, I don't know. What I do know is that if it had not been for this film, I would have no idea that George Tweed ever existed. I'm glad that the film is available for viewing. "No Man Is An Island" is a fine WWII film that deserves to be seen by anyone interested in that historical era.

    Great movie, very uplifting.

    Lots of action and suspense. Good scenery and story line. I enjoy these actors. I wish it was available on TV again.

    One man's spiritual odyssey

    No Man is an Island is best seen not as a war film but as one man's spiritual odyssey. I fully agree with rsoonsa's comments that the film suffers from shoddy production values and a serious lack of logic. But get through the first half of the film and you have a tremendously moving experience.

    Why should one man's life be spared when all of his comrades are killed? This is the question that the main character struggles with, and it's mainly through the local priest that he learns to accept the sacrifice of the people of Guam.

    Jeffrey Hunter understands that his role doesn't call for the tough, gritty approach that he essayed so brilliantly in Hell to Eternity. Rather, he calls upon his unique qualities of masculinity and sensitivity to suggest his character's growing spiritual awareness. Some of Hunter's closeups are of heartrending beauty, bringing a spiritual quality that no actor today could touch.

    There's a reason why No Man is an Island has been released on DVD - albeit in a misguided widescreen transfer that crops crucial information from the top and bottom of the frame. It speaks to a lot of people and transcends its various flaws through the sheer inspiration of its message.

    Second-rate treatment of a noble adventure.

    Jeffrey Hunter plays the part of George Tweed, the redoubtable U.S. Navy radioman who survived in hiding on Guam during the Japanese occupation of that island, with the assistance of many Guamanians who willingly turned their lives upside-down to protect him. Hunter is woefully miscast; devout Antonio Antero, the Chamorro who was Tweed's principal benefactor during his ordeal, was convinced of his Christian duty to assist the American due to the latter's appearance: gaunt and dirty with long hair and sullied clothing, akin to Christ before the crucifixion, but Hunter is obviously well-nourished with his hair style never disturbed, and with barely a nod by his demeanor to his taxing situation. Tweed, as the sole American survivor of the invasion, was a totem to the people native to Guam that the United States was still there, but this fact is overlooked in this production. Although Tweed was hidden within a cave in the island's southeast, a popular tourist attraction today, the scenario places him atop a mountain where he would be in plain view of enemy aircraft, a serious miscue in light of the fact that much of the occupiers' activity was revolving about attempts at his capture. Tweed cleverly repaired a damaged radio and typewriter and through skillful use of both helped to offset Japanese propaganda concerning the true progress of the war; however, this is touched on but briefly and in a distorted fashion, at that. Although obviously designed as packaged Hollywood entertainment, the screen story appears jejune when one recalls that many died to preserve the safety of the real-life Tweed. Filmed in the Philippines with largely local performers, NO MAN IS AN ISLAND flags from consistently poor production characteristics, which tend to jar a viewer's sensibilities. Not surprisingly, the acting is variable, with Marshall Thompson being wasted, and Hunter swallowing many of his lines as well as being uncomfortably saddled with a vapid love interest. Since the script does not delineate a point of view, and there is scant in the way of direction, we are left with one cliché-ridden scene after another. Some potentially engaging sub-plots, in particular one formed from the plight of Japanese-Americans remaining on Guam during the occupation, are only grazed fragments here. Talented Basil Wrangell does his best at editing this affair, but his cachet is finally defeated as the movie flounders forward to its hackneyed conclusion.

      The story is based on true events. The real George Tweed died in 1989.
    • Erros de gravação
      After Mr. Shimoda dies (1:23:29), thieves open his buried coffin and steal his body. This wouldn't have been possible since Mr.Shimoda, like most Japanese Buddhists, would have been cremated the day after the wake. After the cremation, his mourners would have picked his bones out of the ashes with chopsticks, and the ashes would have been transferred to a large funeral urn.
