Huk! (1956)

 Stirling Silliphant adapted his own novel about white plantation owners battling communist gurillas (the titular Huk) in the early 1950's Phillipines. Movie has an intriguing enough premise and the benefit of being filmed on the locations depicted, but its just so bland. There are a couple of okay action set pieces but the film lacked characters to care about. In regards to Mona Freeman's love triangle between George Montgomery and John Baer, I would advise her to go back to the States and find herself some better options. *
