In honor of the 72nd anniversary of D-Day, I watched The Longest Day. It never gets old.
Favorite part: where the journalists on the beach send two carrier pigeons and the birds fly toward the Germans. "Damn traitors!"

From Here To Eternity (1953)
I’ve seen this film countless times & each time I have a different perspective.
Saw it again last night....
Schofield Barracks rifle outfit life is good duty; just stay off Hotel Street in Honolulu and watch MP/SP patrols along Waikiki Beach, and hang on the Windward Side of Oahu at Kaneohe.
I'm sure there's a connection to my quote. Not sure exactly what,
(My fault).
...a tenuous fragile thread perhaps, but tossed out. I read the book and saw the film only after I had left the Army and Hawaii, and assigned From Here To Eternity in a college American lit class.
I was very surprised that I liked it at all let alone as much as I did. None of the promos for the movie sold it in any way for me. I did not enjoy films 4 and 5 (or is it films 1 and 2?) and as a result, I did not see the 6th/1st. Maybe my expectations were low, but no matter, I enjoyed it, a lot.Philistine....... Actually I'm surprised ANYONE like that tired re-tread of a movie. Certainly won't get another dime of my money.

You sound a lot like Wil Wheaton on the Big Bang Theory, when he played himself watching Star Wars dressed as Spock. "I enjoyed that more than I thought I would!"I was very surprised that I liked it at all let alone as much as I did.
My acting career at this time is not that different.You sound a lot like Wil Wheaton on the Big Bang Theory, when he played himself watching Star Wars dressed as Spock. "I enjoyed that more than I thought I would!"
"The Fallen Sparrow" - John Garfield (aka Jacob Julius Garfinkle) gives another stunning performance as "Kit McKitrick" Spanish Civil war veteran who's hunted because he came back with Nazi Battle Standard captured during the war. Tortured and suffering what we'd call PTSD today, he tangles with femme fatales and Nazi spies determined to get a piece of cloth back. Well acted.
