In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

From Here to Eternity (1953)
A drama directed by Fred Zinnemann, starring Frank Sinatra.
A soldier moves to another base after seriously wounding a friend in a boxing match. The leaders at his new base want him to box for them and treat him very badly because he won't.
This film contains one of those "classic Hollywood scenes", which is the scene on the beach when the soldier and the woman are making out on the sand. I just thought that I would point that out. Frank Sinatra plays the army guy that supports the anti-boxer when everyone else treats him like shit. Overall, it was mediocre. Hence, a mediocre score is deserved: o.k.
