THIS YEAR’S PHOTOPLAY
From Here to Eternity
Powerful in impact, searching in its revelation of human character, Columbia’s great Army drama overwhelmed movie audiences. Its themes were multiple: the loyal friendship of Montgomery Clift and Frank Sinatra (left) ; the romance of Clift and Donna Reed; the unhappy love story of Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr. But its core was a convincing picture of men who, unappreciated in peace, stand ready to defend us.
