This week, we are joined by Dr. Vincent Casaregola of Saint Louis University to discuss the iconic film From Here to Eternity (1953). While everyone is familiar with Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster's famous kiss on the beach, what you might not know is how the film explores masculinity, femininity, and military culture from James Jones's novel of the same name. Dr. Casaregola also walks us through various post-war written materials how they have been adapted to the screen from 1946 through today. We also break down the incredibly talented cast involved in our featured film and the dynamic work Burt Lancaster helped create during this era.Movies and Television ProgramsFrom Here to Eternity (1953)The Caine Mutiny (1954)The Young Lions (1958)The Naked and the Dead (1958)High Noon (1952)Golden Boy (1939)Hollywoodland (2006)Shrek 2 (2004)A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)Twelve O’Clock High (1949)Battleground (1949)Sands of Iowa Jima (1949)Task Force (1949)Scandal Sheet (1952)Backlash (1956)The Last Time I Saw Paris (1954)The Donna Reed Show (1958-1966) and Dallas (1978-1991)The Killers (1946)Brute Force (1947)Marty (1955)Bird man of Alcatraz (1962)The Devil’s Disciple (1959)The Young Savages (1961)Elmer Gantry (1960)Judgement at Nuremberg (1961)Come Back, Little Sheba (1952)Run Silent, Run Deep (1958)The Rose Tattoo (1955)Trapeze (1956)The Rainmaker (1956)Gunfight at the O.K.
