"KUMANDER FIDELA" (1964): WISH LIST # 2



Kumander Fidela was based on the radio serial by Agustin B. dela Cruz and aired over DZRH in 1964. The movie, directed by Pablo Santiago under the banner of Larry Santiago Productions, starred Fernando Poe, Jr., Willie Sotelo, Helen Gamboa, Jerry Pons, Boy Franscisco and Jose Romulo with the special participation of Van de Leon, Johnny Monteiro and Ramon Revilla.

FPJ, in the role of a military officer, was feared dead by the authorities during one of the many fierce encounters with the dissidents. Badly injured from head wound and suffering from amnesia, FPJ gradually recuperated and was brainwashed. Another FPJ movie in my wish list!
