66. "From Here to Eternity" (1953)

<p>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.</p> <p>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." </p> <p>Drop us a line at <a href= "mailto:worldwartwomovienight@gmail.com">worldwartwomovienight@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Check out our Twitter at <a href= "http://twitter.com/WWIIMovieNight">http://twitter.com/WWIIMovieNight</a> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
