Romantic drama set during WWII. This film takes place off of the battlefield and focuses a group of characters and their relationships. Good acting, in a story filled with fighting, drinking and smooching. |

The love story shown here is actually compelling, as juxtaposed against WWII in a way that doesn't overtake the drama with needless action scenes (cough, cough - Pearl Harbor.) |

A very good film about the time just before pearl harbor with well drawn characters and good performances from the entire cast. It is an interesting film to watch and I liked it because it lacked cliched elements found in many war movies. Frank Sinatra is not that good in it actually but everyone else is great. I really liked the dynamic of the two relationships of the film, and the ending works out perfectly. Much better than Zinnemann's other best picture win the ultra boring Man for all seasons. |

"From Here To Eternity" by Yojimbo |

From Here To Eternity is something of a classic and relaunched the career of Oscar winner Frank Sinatra who allegedly got the part because a friend of the family made an offer that couldn't be refused...It's a rather soapy affair as it follows the trials and tribulations of a group of soldiers posted at a base in Pearl Harbour in the days leading up to the Japanese attack. To be honest, it's not really the kind of film I usually enjoy; the love scene between Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr is one of the most famous ever filmed, but I personally much preferred the on base drama between he, stubborn conscientious objector Montgomery Clift and likable sidekick Sinatra than the romantic melodrama that punctuates it. But that's probably just because of that pesky Y chromosome. The plot could e... |
