From Here To Eternity (31)

The poster/cover of this movie says "The original Pearl Harbor story." I disagree. Not that it's not original, but that this isn't really a story about Pearl Harbor. Only the last 10 minutes of the movie have anything to do with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The rest of the movie is a story about 2 different army guys and their relationships with 2 women. Obviously that's a very generalized "lump" review...but my point is that this is not a movie about Pearl Harbor, which I sort of expected given the claim on the movie cover.

From Here To Eternity is a nice movie. That's it though, just a nice movie. I'm having a hard time understanding why some of these are top 100 of all time. It was patriotic and had a decent love plot, but really there was no climax that I could find and it ended with the start of the war.

Glad I saw it, but it didn't leave any impressions.
