 Landmark
example of Hollywood at its finest. An all-star cast brought
what was considered an unfilmable novel to the screen with skill
and grace. The story of the loves, hopes and dreams of those
in a close-knit Army barracks in Hawaii shortly before the attack
on Pearl Harbor. Montgomery Clift plays Robert E. Lee "Prew"
Prewitt, a former boxer who refuses to fight after blinding a
friend in the ring and is sent to the remote outpost as punishment
for his insubordination. Love and tragedy abound in this unflattering
look at military life and American thought before the war. Based
on the novel by James Jones. Eight Oscars® include Best Screenplay
(Daniel Taradash) and Cinematography (Burnett Guffey).
