Soldiers at a Hawaiian base in the months before Pearl Harbor face love affairs, bullying and military discipline.
Sinekatalog’s take
Fred Zinnemann's drama of soldiers in pre-Pearl Harbor Hawaii is gripping and sensual. Its beach kiss is iconic, and Montgomery Clift, Burt Lancaster and Frank Sinatra give strong, memorable performances.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
