movie trivia question

[Morgana]

A long shot, but thought I'd try ... does anyone know what movie this is?

It would have been released no later than 1968, maybe much earlier. I think the setting was World War II. It takes place on a remote island. It has a sort of rough-and-tumble military guy and a more reserved and "proper" woman (maybe a doctor or missionary?); who have the usual conflict and then fall in love. They get married in a service that takes place over the radio, and because he doesn't have a ring he puts a bandaid on her finger. I can't remember anything else about the plot, or how it ends.

Does this riing a bell with anybody?

Well, I thought it was "Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison", with one of my favorite actors, Robert Mitchum.

But they don't get married.

Wow. You get the gold star for that one.

I was just going to post that if my husband were still alive he would probably know the answer.

He ushered at the local movie theatre in high school, and had a mind like a steel trap.

Trivia questions almost never stumped him.

My mind's not exactly like a steel trap these days but I can Google with the best:

"Father Goose"....1964

I typed in this and googled: movie ww2 on island and get married over radio

came up Father Goose in a flash LOL
cool movie

it was a good movie but i liked Heaven Knows Mr Allison better. Always been a major Robert Mitchum fan!

 

[RoamerRV428]

Mr Rogers was one of my top great war movies

 

[Morgana]

Those sound very promising; I will check them out -- thanks!

Roamer, that's weird -- I used almost exactly the same search terms and went several screens in and didn't get these hits at all. (The only thing remotely similar that I found was "Murphy's War," which is a few years too late and looks more tragic.)

Googling is a mystery to me; sometimes I'll get very different results a week apart.
Anyway, the forums score again! Gracias.

I never saw 'Father Goose' but the Mr. Allison movie reminded me of one of my uncles. He was a Navy Seabee in the Pacific during WW2 and was gruff with a deep voice like Mitchum. He had stories about how rough it was on some of those islands. He would crow about Seabees needing to do their jobs with, "a hammer in one hand and a .45 in the other!"

The brainwasher algorithm is based on your activity IQ as assembled by googles own preparatory methods for leading you around the internet. It's all a well crafted process for different personality profiles. Some are hopeless so they get sent to what pleases them. Others are misdirected in order to further control their progress in the brainwashing. Others are given supportive linkage to maintain the control already over them. LOL

^^not sure about this but i bet it is controlled by money, whomever pays the most to Google gets this the top most search results! btw,
S2D my father was in the S Pacific in the navy and his ship, the USS Rednour, was hit by a kamikaze with 3 killed and 13 wounded. (funny but i just googled to make sure i spelled his ship correctly and found a wiki article i had never seen before!) what he talked the most about are several fights he got into, including 1 guy he struck for walking across his newly-mopped deck, that prompted his superiors to threaten to leave him on one of those islands
ps
Mitchum was also a singer and one album i was listening to on Youtube, Calypso - Is Like So..., didnt even sound like his acting voice!

It would be easy to prove or disprove your theory.  All we need is for a dozen people to cut-and-paste the exact same search terms into their browsers and see where it leads them:

I was just kidding. What does happen a lot is if you go to a place a few times it will move it up higher in ranking or all the way into the top for you. It does not mean that it's in the top of high for anyone else.
