Sixty-nine years ago the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and plunged the United States into World War II.
In 1953 director Fred Zimmerman produced this highly acclaimed adaptation of James Jones novel about military life on Pearl in the months preceding the attack. With an outstanding cast featuring Burt Lancaster, Frank Sinatra, Montgomery Clift, Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed the film was nominated for thirteen Academy Awards and won eight, including best Picture and Best Director. The film still packs a wallop today and has won of the most iconic romance scenes ever filmed.
