Collection of two 18" x 25-1/2" Italian movie posters (known as "photobustos") for the 1953 Columbia Pictures film "From Here to Eternity" ("Da Qui All'Eternita"). Set in pre-WWII Hawaii, the movie stars Sinatra in his immortal Oscar-winning role as Private Angelo Maggio, trying to help his friend Prew (Montgomery Clift), who refuses to box on the company's team. Many people believe that this is the film and role portrayed in "The Godfather," when Johnny Fontane asked Don Corleone to help him get the part that would put him on top again. Burt Lancaster, Jack Warden, Ernest Borgnine, Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed fill out this star-studded cast. The posters grade an overall Fine and show some surface wear, which takes nothing away from these great Sinatra images.
