Informazioni su questo film

n 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®, 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. © 1953, renewed 1981 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.

I was somewhat disappointed in this film given all the accolades. I understand the drama with forbidden or "star-crossed" love and how that leads to pathos and sympathy for the characters and all that. But, someone cannot have a relationship with someone he (Lancaster) really loves because he doesn't want to become an Army officer? Really? Seems weak. And she (Kerr) can't love anyone who isn't and Army officer? Really? The same holds true for the other "love affair". Donna loves Monty but there is also some contrived obstacle that makes it so their love can never be. Wow! All so melodramatic and petty. Frank is great though! The best reason to watch it is Frank.

Great movie and comeback for frank. Thanks to Ava Gardner for convincing the producer for considering him for this roll. They originally wanted Ella wallach, but cast him instead. After that he reinvented himself. Even fired his accountant. Wiped the slate clean to become mr Sinatra

Even though i didn't like the ending, it was, like life, a mixture of good, and bad - but very realistic! SUPERB and timeless, character development and story!👍👍😀
