I think it's fair to say that amongst films that feature instances of alcohol-induced idiocy, National Lampoon's Animal House is often looked at as being the gold-standard of the American cinema, BUT... after having tonight viewed From Here to Eternity for about the 37th time, it dawned upon me that the manifestations of drunken moronity in this film may very well rival, if not surpass, Animal House in both depth and measure.
That being said, I must concede that John Belushi's character, John "Bluto" Blutarsky, is a runaway winner over Ernest Borgnine's Sgt. James "Fatso" Judson in the charm department.
