This dense adaption of Ernest Hemmingway's novel features Gary Cooper as American soldier Lt. Henry and his ill-fated love affair with British Nurse Catherine, portrayed by Hellen Hayes, during World War I. Filmed in beautiful Italy, the two lovers will stop at nothing to be together but Lt. Henry's internal struggles ultimately threaten the relationship. Hemmingway's theme of questioning the nature of war and fighting is fully recognised under Frank Borzage's direction.

Hemmingway at his best.

John from Donegal, 21 Jan 2010

A tragic love affair set during the first world war, taken from a book by Ernest Hemmingway. Interesting film from the early days of Talkie's, Gary Cooper is good, a far cry from his Western roles. It follows the Book quite closely, and for its time is very risky.

Watchable

John from Waterford, 07 Sep 2010

There are some decent parts in this, but there seemed to be some gaps in the story, but that could also be because it didn't keep me at the edge of my seat... I was more in the middle of it, for most of it. Wouldn't watch it a second time.

If you like old films you will like this, simple story.
