I got it on 4K in the Columbia set. I wonder how the mini-series with Natalie Wood compares. :smiley_clap:

One of my top ten films of all time. Though I constantly hear everyone talking about the Burt Lancaster/Deborah Kerr beach scene and that this is the one Frank Sinatra won his Oscar. I always felt those were subplots, the main story is Prewitt (Montgomery Clift) being bullied by his superiors into boxing on the company team. I thought those scenes had the most effect, and one of my favorites was when Prewitt finally fights back against one brutal sergeant. Ernest Borgnine also makes a great impression as a hateful, grinning bad guy.
