It's not really a war movie, as Pearl Harbor isn't attacked until the end of the movie and the rest of the film is character-driven. Somehow they filmmakers took James Jones's massive, bruising 800 page novel and made it into a rousing, romantic melodrama. The cast is excellent; Sinatra was in the film version of another Jones novel, "Some Came Running." Won a crap load of Oscars in 1954.
