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."  Drop us a line at [email protected] Check out our Twitter at http://twitter.com/WWIIMovieNight
