A classic

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2003)

A great film set in Hawaii just before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. Burt Lancaster is great in the role of 1st Sargent Warden, Montgomery Clift is good as Prewitt, while both were ably supported by Ernest Borgnine & Donna Reed.
The only let down of this film is the "Oscar winning" performance of Frank Sinatra. The best supporting actor category must have been pretty weak in 1953 if Sinatra's hammy attempt at dramatic acting got the gong.
Otherwise a true classic from the 1950's & worth checking out
