From here to Eternity

It's interesting to find out a that such a classic film had casting problems before it got off the ground. Fred Zinneman wanted Montgomery Cliff in the film and refused to do it if he was not cast. The film stars, Burt Lancaster, Donna Reed, Deborah Kerr, Frank Sinatra, Ernest Borgnine and Jack Warden. Burt Lancaster was the only actor who was selected without any question. Frank Sinatra's career was in so much trouble that he supposedly begged to be in the film. If you've never seen this great film, check it out. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
