I’ve often wondered why there was never a movie made about General Fertig.

A movie could be made about all the Americans who joined guerrilla forces in the Philippines but to my knowledge no movie even has a scene containing an American guerrilla. I do remember seeing an old movie in which a coastwatcher was featured but I can't remember if he was American or Australian.

The other day I mentioned being unable to recall any movie about American guerrillas in the Philippines. I forgot about an old 1950 movie starring Tyrone Power titled American Guerrilla in the Philippines. It was about remnants of John Bulkely's Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Three who became guerrillas on Mindanao.

I did see this a long time ago and after refreshing my memory on YouTube, I remember why I had forgotten it.
