Love all the movies I have seen him perform in. I think this movie caused trouble for Frank in his personal life because of the subject matter.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-92109770988668960202010-06-06T00:14:40.557-04:002010-06-06T00:14:40.557-04:00Sinatra's was an intersting screen persona and...Sinatra's was an intersting screen persona and I generally will catch his films when they air and I have the chance. I've seen this one a few times and think it's one of his better performances. I also enjoy him in his '50's roles,PAL JOEY, GUYS & DOLLS, YOUNG AT HEART, etc., along with his widely acclaimed portrayal in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. Don't have a problem with him in FROM HERE TO ETERNITY.

Except for the presence of Sinatra, it almost plays like a sharply-made "B" movie (along the lines of THE NARROW MARGIN). I think it's one of Frank's three best performances (the others being THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE and VON RYAN'S EXPRESS...I love FROM HERE TO ETERNITY but not Frank's performance in it). I am so glad you picked this movie, because not many folks have seen it. And...you were thoughtful enough to enclose a link to it!Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-69360001872768232802010-06-04T14:23:52.428-04:002010-06-04T14:23:52.428-04:00Dawn, it has been a long time since I have seen th...Dawn, it has been a long time since I have seen this film and suddenly you make me want to revisit it! James Gleason, who plays Pop, had an active career. He was in "Meet John Doe," "Arsenic and Old Lace," and "The Night of the Hunter." Yet the role I remember him best for is that of Sylvester, the cab driver who drove Dudley and Julia (Cary Grant and Loretta Young) for their day out, even joining them in ice skating. I enjoyed reading your fun write-up!toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-52201912962045695382010-06-04T12:52:20.927-04:002010-06-04T12:52:20.927-04:00Dawn, interesting review of a really good movie.

It is always interesting when someone like Sinatra plays against type -- you are never quite sure if he is going to turn good guy in the end or not. And I have always been a fan of Sterling Hayden. His performance in this was solidly good. But his best performance was in the black comedy "Dr. Strangelove", playing the neurotically psychopathic colonel who was always worried about keeping pure his bodily fluids! He was spooky and hilarious in that role.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-22395261063250441112010-06-04T11:56:08.121-04:002010-06-04T11:56:08.121-04:00Never seen this film, Dawn.
