About this product

Product Information

An all-star cast brought what was considered an unfilmable novel to the screen with skill and grace with this story of the loves, hopes, and dreams of those in a close-knit Army barracks in Hawaii shortly before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Montgomery Clift portrays a former boxer who refuses to fight after blinding a friend in the ring and is sent to the remote outpost as punishment for his insubordination. Love and tragedy abound in this unflattering look at military life and American thought before the war. Director Fred Zinneman's Oscar-winning film is based on the novel by James Jones.

  • Excellent movie

    It's just an excellent movie! Top of the line actors with top of the line performances. The story is well written although I understand it was changed from the book to get past the censors of the time. As a senior I also enjoyed seeing many of the secondary actors who I recognized from later performances such as Jack Warden (The Naked City) and George Reeves (the original TV Superman) and several more.

  • A Gem Not To Miss

    Filmed in B/W, set in pre-Pearl Harbor WWII, this is a multi-Academy-Award-winning movie. Quintessential Burt Lancaster and Best Actor winning performance by Montgomery Clift. Bigg surprise is the memorable heavy-drama performance by Frank Sinatra in a DRAMATIC non-singing role! In this depiction of days leading up to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, which all but destroyed the US Navy's South Pacific Fleet, viewers see the 'asleep-at-the-wheel' military non-chalance which made the surprise attack so effective. If you don't have this movie in your DVD collection, get it.

  • Excellent movie

    I have loved this movie since the very first time I saw it back in the 60s. The characters are very engaging and although the story is not true, it is based on characters the writer observed during his time during World War II.
