Report from the Aleutians est un film documentaire américain réalisé par John Huston, sorti en 1943, sur la campagne des îles Aléoutiennes, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Le film a été nommé pour l'Oscar du meilleur film documentaire lors de la 17e cérémonie des Oscars, en 1945.

Synopsis

Cette contribution à l'effort de guerre américain, réalisée en Technicolor, est une sorte de poème impressionniste faisant une description minutieuse de la position géographique des lieux et surtout des conditions de vie des soldats. Avec une équipe du Signal Corp., Huston se rendit pendant l'automne et l'hiver 1942 dans les îles Aléoutiennes, point de départ des raids américains sur les bases japonaises de Attu et de Kiska. C'était un archipel balayé par des tempêtes continuelles dont les images donnent une vision terrifiante des conditions de vie des soldats et d'atterrissage des avions. Par cette description humaine, Huston montre sa profonde admiration, non pour la guerre en elle-même mais pour le courage des hommes qui y étaient mêlés.

In the South Pacific in 1944, U.S. Marine Corporal Allison (Robert Mitchum) and his reconnaissance party had been in the process of disembarking from a U.S. Navy submarine when they were discovered and fired upon by the Japanese. The submarine's captain was forced to dive and leave the scouting team behind. Allison got to a rubber raft and after days adrift, reaches an island. He finds an abandoned settlement and a chapel with one occupant: Sister Angela (Deborah Kerr), a novice nun who has not yet taken her final vows. She herself has been on the island for only four days; she came with an elderly priest to evacuate another clergyman, only to find the Japanese had arrived first. The frightened natives who had brought them to the island left the pair without warning, and the priest died soon after.
