From Here to Eternity
REVIVALS
Director: Fred Zinnemann.
Starring: Deborah Kerr, Burt Lancaster, Frank Sinatra, Montgomery Clift.
United States, 1953.
118 mins.
This impressive digital restoration of Fred Zinnemann's acclaimed drama FROM HERE TO ETERNITY premiered at Cannes 2010. Based on James Jones' best-selling novel of the same name, the film powerfully depicts the passions and violence of a group of soldiers stationed on Hawaii just before World War II with an all-star cast including Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr, Frank Sinatra and Montgomery Clift. At the Schofield Army Barracks in Honolulu, the soldiers' melodramatic joys and sufferings are swept away by the Japanese attack on the morning of 7 December. Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr's romantic nocturnal rendezvous at the beach, in which their bodies passionately intertwine as the waves crash over them, remains a classic love scene in film history.
