My Masterpiece number 22 !!!

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2019)

The biggest Columbia's production ever done, such greatness let the picture nominated in thirteen categories and winning in eight including best picture, saving Frank Sinatra's career on declining in that time, masterfully directed by Fred Zinnemann who struggles to give to Montgomery Cliff the role of the Private Prewitt, against the will of the Columbia's hard boss Bud Adler, based on a heavy novel, then they didn't follow the story properly, due it contained hardy subjects as prostitution, homosexuality and infidelity over the Army at Hawaii, so they put all things on subjective form, Then Deborah Kerr on the role of the Captain's wife had a reason to clear himself as unfaitful wife, due his husband made her to loose their child, Donna Reed was introduced as a dancing party girl only, in others words not as prostitute as the book implies, l don't know what's hell some critics found some homo affective between Sgt. Warden and Prewitt, sincerely I didn't get it, Borgnine is another high point as the rough guy with a bad nickname Fatso, the fight in the dark alley with Prewitt is fabulous, the most famous kiss at beach between Warden and Karen never will be matched, anyway a robust picture that go beyond of the eternity, a true masterpiece!!!
