Based on the best-selling 1929 novel by Ernest Hemingway, Frank Borzage’s Oscar-winning film adaptation of the tragic Great War romance stars an impossibly handsome Gary Cooper as the somewhat cynical Lieutenant Frederic Henry, an American enlisted in the Italian army to drive ambulances during the war.
Through his doctor friend, Rinalidi (Adolphe Manjou), he meets Catherine Barkley (Helen Hayes), an English nurse whose fiancé was killed at the Somme. What starts as a flirtatious and casual encounter soon develops into something much deeper – but can their passion survive the terrible consequences of the war?
In English with Greek subtitles.
