If "From Here to Eternity" has one defining legacy, it would be the tapestry of characters and storylines it presents. Following three separate threads, which are all given a time in the spotlight, every actor in the core ensemble gets a complete arc. In fact, the broad attention to its characters would reflect in the career opportunities that opened for each of those actors following the movie's critical and box office success.
Like any movie about Pearl Harbor, "From Here to Eternity" is a tragedy. For 1953, and especially with the Hays Code restricting its use of violence and obscenity, its depiction of the Japanese attack in its last few minutes is brutal, with enemy planes shown gunning down soldiers point-blank. But even with these brief moments of carnage, the more prominently featured tragedies are in the characters' personal lives.

The average screen time for a Best Actress Oscar nominee is one hour, three minutes, and 28 seconds. Not surprisingly, over 45% of those who have contended for the award (and 47% of those who have won) have not even reached the one hour mark froo screen time. Here is a look at the category’s 10 shortest nominated performances, including four winners:
10. Frances McDormand (“Fargo”)
26 minutes, 29 seconds (27.01% of the film)
McDormand earned her first of two Best Actress Oscars in 1997 for playing the role of Marge Gunderson, a pleasant yet shrewd Minnesota police chief.

To date, none of McDormand’s five Oscar-nominated performances have reached the one hour screen time mark.
9. Julie Christie (“McCabe & Mrs. Miller”)
