Story: The lives military men and
their women in
Hawaii in the last few days before the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Parallel plot lines include a soldier who is abused by his commanding
officer for refusing to join the company boxing team, and the
commanding officer's wife has an affair with a sergeant.
Scenery: Undetermined. According to the Spring/Summer 2005 issue of Carmel Magazine, the famous beach kissing scene was originally filmed at Halona Cove on Oahu, Hawaii, but due to techincal problems had to be re-shot. Rather than return to Hawaii, the cast and crew made a shorter trip to Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur (other sources claim Garrapata beach). Anecdotal reports from old-timers indicate that Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr and an entire film crew were seen on the Big Sur beach for two days. That may very well have happened, but a careful examination of the scene clearly shows that the rock formations in the background match more recent videos of Halona Cove in Hawaii. Evidently, the Big Sur version either didn't make the final cut, or bits of it were interspersed with the Hawaiian footage. It is also possible that this is merely a local legend. See To Eternity, but not From Here for further information.
