It is on my "must watch" list along with a handful of other classic films that, much like you, I'm just now getting to.<br /><br />I've only ever seen Montgomery Clift in one film, <i>A Place In the Sun</i> with Shelly Winters and Liz Taylor. Excellent film, loosely based on Theodore Dreiser's 1925 classic novel, <i>An American Tragedy</i> which was loosely based on an actual murder that occurred in the Adirondack Mountains in 1906. <br /><br />I'm familiar with Debroah Kerr in <i>An Affair to Remember</i> with Cary Grant and <i>The King & I</i> with Yul Brynner. So I am looking forward to seeing her performance in <i>From Here to Eternity</i>... and after visiting Puerto Vallarta back in May 2008, I'd like to see <i>Night of the Iguana</i> which was filmed down there and Kerr also starred in.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-8978949776843096722009-08-18T08:52:18.142-05:002009-08-18T08:52:18.142-05:00Leah - Yes, Clift's character played the bugle...Leah - Yes, Clift's character played the bugle and played it very good. There's a part in the film where he takes a bugle and, while the music is playing in a bar, blows the crap out of the horn, leaving all his fellows smiling yet aghast.<br /><br />Chris - Yeah, I really liked it, too. Probably won't read the book--I hear it's something like 800pp.<br /><br />Gary - Hollywood certainly is pretty showy in this one. Even Frank gets to sing a few bars. And dang if I didn't thoroughly enjoy Sinatra in this film, too. I've seen very few, if any, of his films.Scott D.

Can't recall much else save for The Big Scene and only because it gets referred to so often.Leah J. Utashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497599109798015888noreply@blogger.com
