Review of Back Door to Hell

Average WWII drama set in the Philippines. Three soldiers are assigned to gather needed information about Japanese occupation, as the American forces are planning a major attack. Jimmie Rodgers, Jack Nicholson and John Hackett lose their radio transmitter during their arduous trek through the jungle; and now need the help of Filipino resistors to make use of the radio in a key Japanese communications post. Probably needs more action, but an interesting Black & White film shot in and near Bicol, Luzon, Philippines. Rodgers is the moderately successful singer of the late 50s, who's biggest hit was "Honeycomb" in 1957. And the young Nicholson is honing his wise-cracking. Also in the cast: Conrad Maga, Johnny Monteiro, Annabelle Huggins and Joe Sison.
