The House I Live In (1945) Directed by Mervyn LeRoy
Passion and tragedy collide in this landmark film set on a fateful December day in 1941 Hawaii. Loosely based on the James Jones debut novel, From Here to Eternity focuses on the aspirations and frustrations of the intertwined lives on the Schofield Army Barracks in Honolulu in the days leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Sinatra’s role as Angelo Maggio, best friend to Robert E. Lee Prewitt (Montgomery Clift), would prove life-altering for the star. Winner of eight Oscars®, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay, From Here to Eternity delivered a Best Supporting Actor award for Sinatra and brought his career back from the brink.
The House I Live In, directed by Mervyn LeRoy, (1945, 10 min.) will precede the feature. Created with the intention to oppose anti-Semitism and racial prejudice at the end of WWII, this film starring Sinatra was selected in 2007 for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. The House I Live In print is provided courtesy of the Indiana University Libraries Moving Image Archive. (2K DCP/16mm Presentation)
