From Here to Eternity (1953) is one of the most controversial films
of its time. Adapted from James Jones's bestselling novel, the
landmark blockbuster deals frankly with adultery, military
corruption, physical abuse, racism and murder, and traces the
unhappy lives of five American outsiders in the last days before
Pearl Harbor. Made at the height of the Cold War and Hollywood's
anticommunist purges, director Fred Zinnemann, writer Daniel
Taradash and producer Buddy Adler defied military and industry
pressure to censor the material. Exploring the film's full
production history and drawing upon archival documents and rare
interviews with cast and crew, J. E. Smyth provides a fascinating
behind-the-scenes look at the film many industry insiders thought
couldn't be made. This special edition features original cover
artwork by Eda Akaltun.
