[lit-ideas] Re: Judgment at Nuremberg

I finally got around to seeing From Here to Eternity yesterday.  I had never 
seen it and never read the book either.  The movie was good.  I was struck by 
how orderly the world was.  The bad guys got their just deserts, and even 
Montgomery Clift  couldn't get away with murder, however just.  The Debra Kerr 
character was a product of her times, being driven to drink because she 
couldn't have children.  She latched onto Burt Lancaster, and he to her, until 
he came to his senses and decided he liked where he was.  It was better than I 
expected it to be.  A little off the subject, but I kind of wonder if the guy 
who wrote the Popeye cartoon where Olive's eyes pop out and she squeals, "A 
may-annn!"  (A man!) is a satire on a character such as Debra Kerr.  The men 
all seemed content if not happy being married to the Army, where Debra Kerr 
needs a man desperately.  Donna Reed seemed to have it a bit more together.  I 
thought Burt Lancaster was a lowlife.  Too bad the real world
 isn't so orderly.
