FROM HERE TO ETERNITY - Digitally Restored! June 10, 2010

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.

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.
