At the onset of the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in 1942, American private pilot Chip Corbett is using his personal plane to fly out fleeing individuals for a price. One such client, a shady war profiteer, is the last client to leave the mainland on Chip's airplane under a hail of bullets from the invading Japanese. However, the airplane develops technical problems and crash-lands on the island of Corregidor where a few Americans and Philippine guerrillas still hold-out. Recognizing Chip's client as one of the most infamous Philippine traitors who collaborated with the Japanese in exchange for money, the Philippine guerrillas kill the man. Chip is left unharmed, since he's American, but the defenders of Corregidor seem disgusted that Chip can only think of money instead of helping with the war effort. Chip finds out the Philippine guerrillas are attempting to salvage the national gold reserves from the clutches of the invading Japanese. The plan is to transfer the gold bullion onto a barge and eventually on board an American submarine waiting off shore. However, the approaching submarine is destroyed by a Japanese dive-bomber and the gold is left on the barge. Japanese warships are seen patrolling the coast line. The only solution seems to be the sinking of the barge and the gold stashed on top of it. The Philippine guerrillas plan to recover the sunken gold after the war when Japan would be defeated. But the barge is too big. They need to find a way to bomb it from above in order to sink it in relatively shallow water. Chip suggests he could fly a small airplane loaded with bombs and destroy the barge from the air. He asks if there is a plane laying around. American nurse and missionary, Joan Barnes, who is providing medical assistance to the guerrillas, explains that her missionary father, Dr. Barnes, does missionary work among the native head-hunter tribes inland. Her father owns a small sea-plane that could do the job but the way to him is fraught with dangers. Nevertheless, a small group is formed, led by a Philippine guerrilla colonel and guided by Joan who knows the way through the jungle. Chip volunteers to be the pilot of the sea-plane, provided he is rewarded for his efforts by allowing him to keep the sea-plane and fly it back to the USA after the barge is sunk. In the morning, the small group heads toward its destination, facing difficult terrain, areas infested with Japanese soldiers, native head-hunters and other perils.
Dennis Weaver is a mercenary pilot in the Pacific during WW2. He agrees to help Vera Miles steal the Phillipine treasury of gold away from the conquering Japanese forces.
I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid and I do remember Dennis Weaver's role as the pilot. I was also vaguely familiar with Filipino actor Bruno Punzalan who always played some unsavory characters in many of his films. One of my favorite scenes depicted some little known details and facts of this war where the Japanese soldiers who were reputed to be superior jungle fighters in WWII, were in the jungle being stalked by Filipino "Negrito" warriors who were headhunters. The headhunters were eliminating the Japanese troops one-by-one and in this one climaxing scene, a Japanese Officer was barking orders to his remaining men when he was shot in the throat by one of these Negritos who used a blowgun and poisoned dart. As the soldier fell mortally wounded and dying, the Negrito calmly walked up to him and decapitated his body. That was a very morbid, but fascinating scene which introduced this little known sub-group of Filipino to the audience.
Copyright date on film shows 1967. Alternative title "Except People get Killed". UK certificate 'A'. I was lucky enough to see an original Dye Technicolor print of this picture, projected theatrically, so I saw it in it's optimum viewing condition, which certainly adds that extra something. Even viewing through rose tinted spectacles however, it's not a great movie, but there's plenty of action to keep you occupied throughout. A proper boys own adventure in fact.

Dennis Weaver is inevitably somewhat limited as an actor, but never the less I still got a lump in my throat when this interesting minor film ends somewhat tragically, helping to leave an indelible impression on the memory.

A 'B' movie in all respects but certainly worth a look at.

Clearly originally shot in Academy ratio and photographically composed very nicely in that format, only the main and end titles have been re-shot to conform with wide screen cinema projection. I was lucky to see it projected in Academy format by an intuitive and intelligent projectionist. The composition would certainly be an uncomfortable fit if shown in 1.85:1 with all the cropping that this would entail. All told, I had a pleasant evening with this film. Not every film can be an academy award winning block buster. The lesser, smaller films have their place too. It's all part of the rich tapestry of film appreciation, and good to have a balanced diet.
