Come to the Paramount Theatre to see this classic!
From Here To Eternity (1953) – On the eve of Japan’s 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the lives of several American soldiers stationed in Hawaii unfold dramatically. A powerful commentary on the military world, this is a film celebrated for its raw toughness, packed with fascinating characters and compelling subplots. Montgomery Clift (the stubborn, insubordinate bugler) and Burt Lancaster (whose surf-washed love scene with Deborah Kerr is one of the most famous ever put on film) head a star-studded cast. Based on James Jones’ sprawling and explicit novel and directed by Fred Zinnemann, the film was a monumental award winner – its thirteen nominations won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress (Donna Reed), Best Supporting Actor (Frank Sinatra), Best Screenplay, Best B/W Cinematography, Best Sound Recording, and Best Film Editing.
Tickets are $5, doors open at 7PM.
