Digitally Restored! FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, 1953, Sony Repertory, 118 min. Dir. Fred Zinnemann. This 1953 Oscar winner (for Best Picture, Director, Cinematography and more) remains a timeless combination of war movie and love story that's as smart and adult as it is entertaining. James Jones' novel about military life at a Hawaiian army barracks on the brink of World War II is the source for a riveting drama starring Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr, Donna Reed, Frank Sinatra, Montgomery Clift and many others.
Trailer
This latest restoration from Sony Repertory began with a 4K scan of the single most original picture element that exists - in this case a Fine Grain Master Positive - which was made from the original negative when the film was first released. This element had both physical and inherent printed-in issues to deal with, including long multi-reel scratches and torn frames. These defects were fixed on a frame-by-frame basis, then a new 35mm digital negative and DCP were prepared.
