A Farewell to Arms is a 1957 drama film directed by Charles Vidor. It is an adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's 1929 semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, starring Rock Hudson as Frederick Henry, Jennifer Jones as Catherine Barkley.
Let me pass on to the plot of this film. Henry, an American officer, who served in Italy during World War I, fell in love with a British nurse Catherine. When he was wounded in the knee and got to the hospital, their relationships developed. Then, being on the front again, Henry killed an engineering sergeant for insubordination. After that, he was caught by the "battle police", who executed officers for the "treachery", but he managed to escape. Together with Catherine they went to Switzerland, where she gave birth to a dead child and then died herself. and Frederick was left alone.
As for the cast, I should mention that all of the actors were awesome. But of course the leading actors were the best. I like how Rock Hudson makes Fredric Henry, the idealistic man who volunteers on the Italian front as an ambulance driver to experience war so he can write about it when it's over. Also Jennifer Jones wass execellent at potraying a devoted nurse. I really beleived that the main characters had a true love.
As for the directing, it was also good. As the whole film is based on the book, so the director was good at describing all the events logically. And though I knew the end, I hoped that it would be different from the novel.
In conclusion, I'd like to say that the ilm is really good. And if you want to see the real emotions and feelings of people during the WWI this film is worth watching.
