A female led WWII story taking place in a Bataan medical facility from 1943. A couple of nurses muse how they're severely understaffed so when an opportunity comes up to enlarge their ranks (some women are in transit on the island & need employment), they hire them on. Based on a play, this film suffers from its stage-bound roots where the majority of the action takes place in the nurses' bunker so the complexity of the different women's past lives & what led them to these straits are lost. Starring Ann Sothern, Margaret Sullavan & Joan Blondell (she played the waitress at the diner in Grease).
