66. "From Here to Eternity" (1953)

Tonight's selection, 1953's "From Here to Eternity," is many
things: one of the most popular movies of its decade, one of the
best novel-to-screen adaptations ever, one of the best casts in
history... and probably the drunkest movie we've ever done on
World War II Movie Night.


Officers and enlistees at the Schofield Barracks are surrounded
by paradise, but all is not well. The local nightlife proves a
welcome distraction from their problems, as they wonder if the
expanding war will make it to them (spoiler alert: it does)...
asides include some relationship advice, Sheriff Lobo,  and
my unexpected ignorance of "The Godfather."
