New York Daily News
While Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr's infamous kiss on the beach is the iconic moment, the drama is filled with romantic story lines...
USA Today
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Despite sliding into melodrama a bit too often, From Here to Eternity remains a decent film due to the strong performances of its Oscar-nominated cast.

...[A] solidly built drama of bully politics and discontent in the US army just before Pearl Harbor...
Sight and Sound
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Fred Zinnemann's strength as a director was less on the technical side and more in line with coaxing stellar performances out of his actors, and with this film, he drew a royal flush.

In From Here to Eternity, you can glimpse an uneasier future for America, with the social wreckage and the pretending.

Product Description:
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.
