One Sentence Plot Summary: An unpopular soldier falls in love while serving on an Hawaii army base in the days leading up to Pearl Harbor.
Starring: Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Deborah Kerr, Donna Reed, Frank Sinatra
Best of: Strong leading performances all around and a surprising supporting role from Frank Sinatra. Also, Donna Reed was pretty darn hot.
Worst of: The Pearl Harbor attack, though not key to the plot, is still underplayed.
Notable: It has long been rumored that the "horse head" scene in The Godfather was taken from similar mob tactics to help Sinatra land his role.
