"From Here to Eternity"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Burt lancaster gets top billing in this sanitized film version of James Jones' celebrated novel. The story is about Army life in Hawai just before the Pearl Harbor attack which ends the story. Lancaster plays a top sargeant who has an affair with his lieutenant's wife, Deborah Kerr. Frank Sinatra and Montgomery Clift are privates and friends, Clift a talented bugler who refuses to join the Company boxing team even though he is a talented fighter (he killed a man in the ring). Clift becomes enamored of "party girl" Donna Reed (miscast, IMHO). Sinatra angers bully Ernest Borgnine, with tragic results. The film is famous for an epic clinch in the poundimg surf by Lancaster and Kerr.
