FROM HERE TO ETERNITY (1953)

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY's biggest asset is its group of main characters... but it's also its biggest flaw You see, they're complex people with interesting stories that give their respective actors the chance to give good performances. Unfortunately, the movie should've focused on just one of them, because the way it shifts from one to the other and the way it doesn't settle on a specific tone ruins the pacing. The scene where 2 of them (WARDEN & KAREN) kiss at the beach remains a very passionate scene to this day, but I don't consider it to be the most memorable moment in the movie (like most people do). It's followed by a very serious conversation, which ruins the mood (once again, tone issues). KAREN's monologue during that scene, PREWITT's drunken rants and everything that happens from the Pearl Harbor attack to the end felt more memorable to me.
