From Hill to Eternity

Looks like Spooky and I had similar ideas, great minds do think a like. It was 12:01 and I was ready to hit the button post and bam computer crashed. I really hate my computers, really hate them. (Check out Spooky for some great pictures of Austin on the set and fans too)


For a cinephile Austin, he knew exactly what they were wanting to create in this scene for an upcoming episode of OTH.


The famous beach scene from Here to Eternity with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr.



Based on the book, Here to Eternity is the story of soldiers, (played by Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Frank Sinatra, and Ernest Borgnine) stationed on Hawaii in the months leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed portrayed the women in their lives.

Because of the censors it is less obvious that Kerr and Lancaster's characters have actually been having sex than it is in the novel and the later, in 1979 miniseries based on the book.

The on-screen chemistry between Lancaster and Kerr may have spilled off-screen; Lancaster alleged that the stars became romantically involved during filming.

One question. So if Austin is Burt would that make Jake Ernie?
