From Here to Eternity, winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1953, is based upon a highly-praised novel of the same name by James Jones. The book contains much brutality and profanity, not to mention adultery and prostitution, and it was considered to be unfilmable by many. Nevertheless the film, in the capable hands of director Fred Zinnemann, manages to capture the essence of the novel even while sanitizing the more lurid aspects of the story. From Here to Eternity was nominated for thirteen Academy Award and won eight, and it is now available in a stunning Blu-ray from Sony.
