One of the classic war interrupts life films of all time.The cast is "A"list and only B&W and slightly dated feel holds it back from perfect.The love scene on the beach still works today as does the brutal fight scenes and if you want to see the film that made Sinatra a real dramatic star and is hinted at in"Godfather"than this is a MUST.The film was released in 1953 and runs 118 minutes.The trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB storyline is below.
It's 1941. Robert E. Lee Prewitt has requested Army transfer and has ended up at Schofield in Hawaii. His new captain, Dana Holmes, has heard of his boxing prowess and is keen to get him to represent the company. However, 'Prew' is adamant that he doesn't box anymore, so Captain Holmes gets his subordinates to make his life a living hell. Meanwhile Sergeant Warden starts seeing the captain's wife, who has a history of seeking external relief from a troubled marriage. Prew's friend Maggio has a few altercations with the sadistic stockade Sergeant 'Fatso' Judson, and Prew begins falling in love with social club employee Lorene. Unbeknownst to anyone, the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor looms in the distance. Written by Ed Sutton <esutton@mindspring.com>
