A Wonderful Film About Relationships and The Impact of Oncoming War

- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2013From Here to Eternity won the Best Picture Oscar and it is a movie that still stands up to the test of time. In the days before Pearl Harbor, several stories play out at the Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. One soldier has an affair with the Captain's wife, another soldier becomes romantically involved with a...um..."dance hall hostess" while at the same time resisting being forced to join his company's boxing team, and another soldier pits himself against a formidable foe. If you are thinking that the attack will be the main focus of the film, you are wrong and will have to wait until the end for that to happen. This is a tour-de-force movie about relationships.
Montgomery Clift beats expectations as the soldier who doesn't want to box. Burt Lancaster is tough to the soldiers but in offguard moments shows he has a strong, caring side. Frank Sinatra pulls off the little tough guy, Maggio, superbly. Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed, both cast against type, turn in very admirable performances.
The video is superb, lots of grain, good solid blacks. (For those who don't know the movie, it is in superb black and white. Dont be misled by the color cover photo, and, LOL, don't also think that Japanese planes are flying overhead during the famous beach scene.
Audio: excellent. Always clear, and when the bombs do finally fall, you feel them. (A sidenote: this is another release that shows off the ability of Blu-ray. There are multiple foreign-language selections, plus 25 subtitle language possibilities.)
The extras are surprisingly slim for a fim like this, but a few of them are excellent. The "Eternal History: Graphics-in-Picture" works quite well. It has a number of people, including the director's son, discussing the making of the film while you are watching it. There are also a few captions that appear that are scene specific. That last is one of the problems with the P-i-P...the captions are the only thing scene-specific...the people talking were all filmed separately, none of them are talking about the film while watching it. They are edited in and do have a reference point, sometimes, but it is not like watching the film and being specific. At first, I thought these would be clips brought over from the featurette, "The Making of From Here to Eternity, but it turns out that isn't the case at all. That "making of" extra is over almost the moment you read the title, running just over 2 minutes long. There is an excellent 9-minute excerpt from "Fred Zinnemann: As I see It", and there are some nice color home-movie clips that were taken on the set. It will have you wanting more. And there is an excellent audio commentary by Tim Zinneman and Alvin Sargent. Inside the cover are reproductions of 5 lobby cards (though why they stayed with 5, instead of the whole set of 8, is a mystery).
Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2006Actually, it's an urban legend of sorts that George Reeves's role in FROM HERE TO ETERNITY was cut down due to his sudden popularity as Superman. The source of this tale is Jack Larson, who starred with Reeves as Jimmy Olsen on the Superman show. He saw the film (FHTE) the day it opened and remembers audience members calling out "There's Superman." The next time he saw the film, he says Reeves's role had been severely cut.
The problem with this is manifold. First, Jack's next viewing of the film, as he told me personally, was some twenty-five years later. I'm convinced that his memory of what he'd seen in that initial viewing had "expanded" over the years, particularly in light of the impact of Superman typecasting
on Reeves's career and life. Secondly, Daniel Taradash's first-draft screenplay, and every draft thereafter, contains exactly the scenes for Reeves's character that are in the film as released and as now seen, and not one scene more nor less. Taradash told me personally that he did not write a single scene for Reeves's character that was not in the final release
print or in subsequent video releases. Thirdly, director Fred Zinneman told me personally that not only was not one of Reeves's scenes cut from the film, but that not one frame of the film was cut after the first audience screenings. He was at the same viewing that Jack Larson attended and, while he allowed as that there might have been some muttered reference to Superman from audience members, he does not remember any and that in any case, there was no impact whatsoever on the film as released, nor even any discussion of the matter. He said the video release of the film is identical to the original theatrical release and that not one frame of Reeves's scenes was cut for any such reason. Fourthly, the editor of the film and its assistant director also confirmed and concurred with the statements of Taradash and Zinneman. Fifthly, several of the cast members, including Frank Sinatra and Claude Akins, assured me they knew of no such reduction in Reeves's screen
time for any reason.
Part of the problem may stem from the fact that Sgt. Maylon Stark, Reeves's character, is a vastly more important character in the novel of FROM HERE TO ETERNITY. Scores of characters from that huge book were either trimmed or eliminated. Sgt. Stark remained, but in a smallish way, in the film. But it was a small part in the first place, long before George Reeves was cast. It was never reduced further, due to his Superman fame or for any other reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars Passionate, Touching, Riveting...Entertainment
I watched this movie many years ago and once again, last night. On second viewing, I enjoyed it even more.
To begin with, it would be hard to NOT make a great movie considering the cast assembled here, led by one of my all time fav golden age actors: Burt Lancaster. He was apparently everyone's first choice in this part and they chose wisely.
Deborah Kerr as the bad girl/straying wife was wonderful, genuine and passionate too. It must have been interesting for her to play a part so far removed from her up to then usual parts, often as very proper English types.
Montgomery Clift, perfection as always.
Frank Sinatra, making a comeback in his acting career that earned him a deserved Oscar...the list goes on and on.
I was riveted to this film from beginning to end. In spite of it being made in 1953, depicting the early war time 40's, the human elements of this film still ring true today. Passionate, emotional, at times funny....this movie has everything.
When I watched the special features of this film afterwards that showed some of the shooting scenes in color, I wondered what it would have been like to have watched this whole film in color? I think it would have still been a big winner and would not have detracted from the overall viewing enjoyment. But black and white has its own particular charm and again, I think it was something that added to the film.
A great time to buy this classic from Amazon.ca at less than 8. As for the lack of widescreen format here, no worries for us as we have a rather ancient TV. ;-) But I guess a version for newer TVs would be appreciated by most viewers now.
Don't miss this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Die haben früher einfach gute Filme gemacht!
Einen literarischen Weltklassiker zu verfilmen, ist ein sehr ambitioniertes Vorhaben, zumal man da als Regisseur eigentlich nur verlieren kann. Trotzdem hat sich FRED ZINNEMANN 1953 an JAMES JONES` Bestseller „From here to Eternity“ herangewagt.
Das Buch galt seinerzeit zu den Weltbestsellern, allerdings stand man seiner „Filmtauglichkeit“ sehr skeptisch eggenüber. Trotzdem sicherte sich „Columbia“-Boss HARRY COHN für 87.000 $ die Filmrechte, Drehbuchautor DANIEL TARADASH bog es dann Hollywood-gerecht zurecht, was heißt, dass der Film an manchen Stellen vom Roman abweicht.
Der Stoff sorgte aber bei vielen Hollywood-Akteuren für Begehrlichkeiten, FRANK SINATRA wollte unbedingt dabei sein und bot sogar an die Rolle des „Angelo Maggio umsonst zu spielen. Trotzdem bekam er die Rolle nur deswegen, weil ELI WALLACH, den COHN favorisierte, lieber ein Engagement am Broadway annahm. Gage gab es für ihn dann doch, allerdings war die mit 8000 $ eher mickrig. Zum Vergleich, BURT LANCASTER (Sgt. Milton Warden) bekam 120.000 $, MONTGOMERY CLIFT (Robert Prewitt) gar 150.000 $.
DEBORAH KERR war für die Rolle der „Karen Holmes“ auch nur die dritte Wahl, erst als JOAN CRAWFORD und RITA HAYWORTH ablehnten, war sie dabei. JOAN CRAWFORD lehnte die Rolle angeblich ab, weil das Studio ihre Wünsche die Garderobe betreffend, nicht erfüllen wollte. Das waren damals wirklich Diven …..
Der Film selber ist inzwischen Geschichte, irgendwann hat den doch jeder einmal gesehen, zumindest wenn er zu den älteren Semestern gehört. Für junge Leute ist das nichts, die können mit diesen Schwarzweiß-Schinken nichts mehr anfangen.
Die Szene, in der „Prewitt“ den Zapfenstreich bläst, gehört mit Sicherheit zu den berühmtesten und emotionalsten der Filmgeschichte.
Gedreht wurde an Originalschauplätzen auf Hawaii, die US-Army unterstützte das Filmteam bei den Dreharbeiten. Allerdings hatten sie eine Bedingung das Drehbuch betreffend. Im Roman wird „Captain Dana Holmes“ befördert, was die Herren von der Army als „armeefeindlich“ ansahen, im Film läuft das ja ein wenig anders …. ;-)
Ich glaube nicht, dass ich auf die Handlung großartig eingehen muss, die Geschichte von „Robert Prewitt“, der sich weigert zu boxen, kennt wohl jeder.
MONTGOMERY CLIFT finde ich grandios, er spielt den „Robert Prewitt“ exzellent, für mich eine seiner besten Leistungen. Aber auch FRANK SINATRA, BURT LANCASTER und DEBORAH KERR sind großartig, da gibt es gar nichts. KERR spielt die unglückliche Offiziersgattin sehr authentisch, neben MONTGOMERY CLIFT ist sie am glaubwürdigsten.
Mein Fazit: „Verdammt in alle Ewigkeit“ ist eine erstklassige Bestsellerverfilmung, auch wenn er an manchen Stellen vom Buch abweicht. Tolle Darsteller und eine erstklassige Inszenierung von FRED ZINNEMANN haben den Film zu einem Klassiker gemacht, wer sich für alte Filme begeistern kann, der ist hier genau richtig.
Ich habe das schon öfters geschrieben, wiederhole mich aber gerne: „Die haben früher einfach gute Filme gemacht“!

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece, a lesson in characterisation and story telling.
James Jone's novel was deemed impossible to put onto the screen {how many times have we heard that one before?}, but nobody told director Fred Zinnerman and the cast of dreams. Troubles with the making of the film were many, the film was thwarted by a censorship requirement that the army not be portrayed as careless and over brutal, and some of the sexual themes from the novel had to be toned down. Zinneman also had to fight a continuous battle with Columbia's head ego tripper Harry Cohn. He interfered with every script that was shown to him, and casting was also a tough thing to achieve with Cohn trying to call the shots. As it turned out we got one of the best composition of actors in one film to have ever graced the screen.
From Here To Eternity is a film about the lives and loves of a number of characters at Schofield Barracks-Pearl Harbor, just prior to the infamous attack by the Japanese that changed WW2. Illicit affairs, friendship, nobility, bravery and cruelty come crashing together in one gigantic lavish production that defines the word classic. Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Frank Sinatra, Ernest Borgnine, Jack Warden, Deborah Kerr, and Donna Reed all give performances that any other actor would be proud to have given. On another day they all could have won awards such was the strength of performance they all gave. Reed & Sinatra won best supporting Oscars, while Fred Zinneman rightly won for best director to cement the film winning outright for best picture. Yet the film's crowning glory didn't win an award, for to me, Montogomery Clift gives one of the best performances in motion picture history, it's layered to perfection and it's one of those character portrayals that has me involved to the point of exhaustion. One scene in which he plays a bugle lament as tears roll down his face is just stunning, and I know how he feels because I cry along with him to, such is my involvement with his turn as Robert E. Lee Prewitt.
Laced with memorable scenes {the kiss, the bugle lament, Lancaster blasting away at the Japanese planes with machine gun in hand}, and performances to match, From Here To Eternity is essential cinema to be viewed every year and homaged and praised whenever possible. 10/10 in every single respect.
