from here to eternity

In the years since, the best picture prize has gone to several war movies, including “The Bridge on the River Kwai,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” “Patton,” “The Deer Hunter,” “Platoon,” “Braveheart” and “The Hurt Locker,” as well as a number of war-related dramas, such as “Mrs. Miniver,” “Casablanca,” “The Best Years of Our Lives,” “From Here to Eternity,” “Schindler’s List” and “The English Patient.”

In his review, Schallert said “From Here to Eternity” had “rough, rugged, brutal appeal,” it made the military “look its worst” and that the famous scene on the beach with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr, caused “the screen to sizzle, and almost going overboard.”

“From Here to Eternity” comes to the screen as a supreme mob-inciter.

Take or leave it, “From Here to Eternity” goes all out in making the military situation look its worst.

And, Columbia adds a bonus Blu-ray disc containing the three-part, 1979, made-for-TV miniseries “From Here to Eternity” starring William Devane, Natalie Wood and Andy Griffith.
