Hell to Eternity (1960, Allied Artists)


Hell to Eternity is a profoundly moving cinematic work recounting the true story of Pfc. Guy Gabaldon (played by Jeffrey Hunter), a U.S. Marine who, having been adopted as a boy by a Japanese-American family, finds himself serving in Japan during World War II. While war films hold a particular fascination for me, they are a challenge, as my misophonia renders the cacophony of gunfire and explosions almost intolerable. Otherwise, I tend to love the genre. This film also features the enchanting Patricia Owens (below), who delivers a captivating and sultry performance in a truly magnificent scene.
