Hollywood legends Rock Hudson and Jennifer Jones heat up the screen in a towering adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's novel, the famous tale of doomed love amidst the howl and fury of the most perilous theatre of World War I – the snowy Alpine peaks and muddy plains of northern Italy. Majestically filmed in the actual Hemingway locales (the Alps, Milan, Switzerland and Rome), A Farewell to Arms tells of the love affair of Lt. 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.
