From Here To Eternity - Kiss scene on the beach

Famous kiss scene between Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr from the movie "From Here To Eternity". Burt Lancaster plays a sergeant who is having an affair with the wife of his Commanding Officer (Kerr). The scene caused an outrage in 1953 because of the context and because of the frank sexuality of Kerr's character. I think that this is one of the best kiss scene ever filmed.
I actually went to this beach when I visited Hawaii and I stood at the exact spot where this scene was filmed. It felt like I was going back in time and becoming part of movie history...

I always thought the first seduction scene in the kitchen had much more sexual tension and excitement.

No. In real life a bed works better. Doing it on the beach is uncomfortable, and youll be finding sand in all kinds of places.

That's o.k. Cherilyn. I never remade this scene in my mind or dreams , but I've been crazy about Burt Lancaster since age 14. Never been a slut either though it may have appeared that way to some people. Deborah Kerr's sad past which she reveals to Burt in this scene makes it so very impressively passionate.

I saw this movie on TCM this morning and to me the fact of Deborah Kerr's tragic story and then admitting her life with men was not a "proper" life, this is what made the kiss beautiful. Been there.
