American Guerrilla in the Philippines 1950 DVD - Tyrone Power / Micheline Presle

Set in the spring of 1942, after General Douglas MacArthur and his staff escape the Philippines for Australia, the survivors of a bombed-and-sunk PT boat struggle to make their way to safety. Their skipper instructs them to reach the Del Monte airfield, 200 miles away, and advises them to split into pairs. Ensign Chuck Palmer and crewman Jim Mitchell eventually arrive in Tacloban, on the island of Leyte. At an American mission school, Palmer meets Jeanne Martinez, who seeks aid for a relative, and discovers the Japanese have captured the airfield. Palmer's attempt to reach Australia by boat ends when it sinks in a tropical storm, forcing him to swim for shore. Throughout 1942, Palmer and other survivors evade enemy patrols and live off the land, determined to survive.
