Product Description
Product Description
In this landmark film, passion and tragedy collide on a military base as a fateful day in December 1941 draws near. Private Prewitt (Montgomery Clift) is a soldier and former boxer being manipulated by his superior and peers. His friend Maggio (Frank Sinatra) tries to help him but has his own troubles. Sergeant Warden (Burt Lancaster) and Karen Holmes (Deborah Kerr) tread on dangerous ground as lovers in an illicit affair. Each of their lives will be changed when their stories culminate in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Winner of eight Oscars(r), including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting awards for Sinatra in a career-defining role and for Donna Reed as a not-so-wholesome club hostess.
Set Contains:
Not much of a bonus package on the DVD, considering the film's classic status. The best is the audio commentary, which features Tim Zinnemann, the director's son (and a filmmaker in his own right), and Alvin Sargent, who connects with Fred Zinnemann in two unrelated ways: he wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay for Zinnemann's Julia, yes, but years before that he was an obscure actor who had a couple of scenes in From Here to Eternity. Their comments are pleasantly anecdotal, shedding insider light on the making of the film and Fred Zinnemann's meticulous approach. Fans of Montgomery Clift will be intrigued by the different, conflicting memories of that troubled actor. A making-of featurette is a bogus montage of very brief location footage, and patching together a few excerpts from an interview with Fred Zinnemann doesn't constitute much of an extra feature (why not include the entire interview?). The usual trailers and skeletal filmographies fill it out. --Robert Horton

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.

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!
The movie is in 4:3 and black and white but it is available in DTS HD 5.1 [with minimal separation]. [Interesting that some of the personal footage is in colour.]
Private Prewitt [Montgomery Clift] didn't want to box any more. So his captain and others cruelly hounded him. Meanwhile he had a girlfriend [Donna Reed]. His sergeant , Warden [Burt Lancaster] was trying to help him but was secretly dating the captain's wife [Deborah Kerr]. Eventually the attack occurs.
It is mostly a drama with some brawling and fighting between characters with some footage of the attack near the end.
There isn't really much in extras. A "making of" that didn't even last 3 minutes, a nearly 10 minute featurette of home footage from the director Fred Zinnemann, and the movie with pop-up information.
