Review of From Here to Eternity (1953) by Matt M — 15 Mar 2013
Love and tragedy surround Pearl Harbour prior to the bombing. A private is cruelly punished for not boxing on his unit's team and his captain's wife is falling in love with his second in command.
Though time has taken away some of its edge, this film remains quite memorable and a great example of Hollywood majesty in bringing adult drama and racy subjects tastefully to the screen. From Here to Eternity, apart from still being one of the best films set in Pearl Harbor around the time of the infamous bombing, also represents a type of classic American cinema that has widely been lost.
The film also features a great cast and some truly great performances.
