I'm an "old-timer" so I'll go with FROM HERE TO ETERNITY (1953). After all, this was the movie that brought Frank back from the depths of despair. Sinatra was born to play the part of "Pvt. Maggio!" NOBODY could have done it any better. In late March, 1954, Frank was awarded the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. From this point forward, he would go on to enjoy an illustrious career that is unparalleled in entertainment history, lasting seven (7) decades.
this ones breathtaking!

Mr. Sinatra did a remarkable job with From Here to Eternity. It helps us to never forget WWII and the tremendous sacrifice those courageous soldiers made. He played Maggio better than anyone else could; boy, did he deserve that award. I've heard that he had read the book and was determined that if they ever made a movie of it he would be Maggio. I'll say, if he hadnt played Maggio it wouldnt have been the same!
