Listen Later

It's 1953, time for what many consider a beloved classic in From Here to Eternity, and certainly some of our hosts agree. Romance, tragedy, and one heavily telegraphed surprise attack await... and then, due to poor choices by 50s audiences, it's time for more Sunday School with The Robe. Richard Burton joins the stars if Samson and Delilah and Quo Vadis as a Centurion who finds Jesus... a little too literally. And then things get weird. And dumb. For quite some time. From Here to Eternity wins hearts, while The Robe tries to bring those hearts to Jesus without any concrete ideas how.
