may be not for eternity, but for fifty years yes

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2001)

Yes. Fifty years have gone since this movie was issued ( I only saw it for the first time about forty years ago, because I had no the age in 1953) and yet you can say that the basic human feelings the movie deals with are still valid and up to date, even if the 50`s way of presenting them is by now out of fashion. But there are still plenty mean and selfish men like the Captain, idealistic guys like Prewitt, and torrid love has not changed an inch since Lancaster and Kerr were embracing on the Oauh beach. And finally there is a glimpse of Honolulu as we will never see again in the final scene of the ship sailing. I was in Hawaii on 1990; too late!!
