It’s raining entertainment at The History Channel as the channel
features new mini-series and Jumbo movie this month. The channel
brings you a powerful portrayal of the lives of American military
men stationed in peacetime Hawaii before the surprise attack on
Pearl Harbor in late 1941, with the premiere of the Jumbo Movie
- ‘From Here to Eternity’ on Saturday & Sunday, June

A stirring
recreation of James Jones' best-selling military novel, the Jumbo
Movie stars Academy Award winner Kim Basinger and Academy Award
