Synopsis:

Based on the classic novel by Ernest Hemingway

Set against the backdrop of the Italian front during World War I, this gripping version of Ernest Hemingway's World War I story stars Rock Hudson as an American volunteer ambulance driver and Jennifer Jones as the British nurse he passionately falls in love with... on the eve of the big offensive in the Alps. Initially strangers, the two find they must suddenly grapple with difficult decisions about their life together, until fate steps in and their future becomes uncertain. Torn apart, then reunited, they escape to Switzerland to await the birth of their child - and the tragic conclusion to their once-in-a-lifetime romance. "Moving and realistic" (The Hollywood Reporter), this sweeping epic remains a powerful and emotional experience.

Featuring a stellar cast that includes Vittorio De Sica (who was nominated for a 1957 Best Supporting Actor Oscar), Mercedes McCambridge and Elaine Stritch. A Farewell To Arms is one of the cinema's more poignant portraits of war.
