Editorial Reviews

The wartime drama Hell to Eternity (1960) is divided into three chronological segments and is based on the experiences of the real Guy Gabaldon (played as an adult by Jeffrey Hunter, and as a boy by Richard Eyer). In the first segment, Guy is a homeless waif without many prospects when he is adopted by a Japanese-American family. He grows up just in time to be drafted into battle in World War II -- the bombing of Pearl Harbor has a particularly devastating effect on his family and their friends. After a wild last fling with two buddies (David Janssen and Vic Damone) and some women, Guy heads off to war where he distinguishes himself because of his fluency in Japanese.

November 06, 2008: This story is perfect about descrimination in America in the past. The military is a perfect example of how these descriminations can be overcome.

Jeffery Hunter's character learns the language and culture of 2nd Generation Japanese whose "Homeland" attacks these Japanese Americans' real homeland, at Pearl Harbor. The movie goer sees how empathy for others plays a part for almost all of the characters and when Hunter's platoon leader, David Janson, gets killed he has to undergo a transformation of how empathy can be ignored under trying circumstances. But he overcomes this, too.

The title is perfect for the story it tells.
