Henry (Hudson), an American ambulance driver injured on the battlefront, and Catherine (Jones), the English nurse who shares his pain – and his hospital bed. When Henry is forced to desert, the devoted (and now pregnant) Catherine joins him in his flight to neutral Switzerland...where very different, even greater danger awaits. Best Supporting Actor Oscar® nominee Vittorio De Sica co-stars in this epic motion picture worthy of Hemingway's American classic.
