From Here To Eternity
This powerful story begins with many of the most intense events of the past in an army barracks in Hawaii in the days before the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The story began with a man who refused to participate in boxing for the unity of his team. In the end, the man finds the wife of his leader and the second man in the leadership fall in love to no avail, which may change his mind.

The result is a gripping movie that often makes you wish its director, Zinnemann, knew as much about American life as he does about the art of telling a story with a camera.

The cast includes Frank Sinatra, Montgomery Clift and Ernest Borgnine, all of whom are fine, in what is essentially a melodrama.

The film is anonymously directed, functionally paced and hysterical at times, though it seduces as a hot-blooded spectacle that stitches emotional detail onto the epic canvas of history.
