From Here to Eternity
Hawaii, December 1941
From Here to Eternity is a 1953 American film set at a Hawaiian army base just before Pearl Harbor, known for its iconic beach love scene.
The phrase itself suggests an immense span of time—from the present moment extending infinitely into the future: I could wait from here to eternity and you'd never change.
