A Farewell to Arms

Based On the book by Ernest Hemingway

A Farewell to Arms is a 1932 American pre-Code melodrama film directed by Frank Borzage and starring Helen Hayes, Gary Cooper and Adolphe Menjou. Based on the 1929 semi-autobiographical novel A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, with a screenplay by Oliver H. P. Garrett and Benjamin Glazer, the film is about a tragic romantic love affair between an American ambulance driver and an English nurse in Italy during World War I. The film received Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Sound and was nominated for Best Picture and Best Art Direction. It was the first Hemingway novel to be released as a film. In 1960, the film entered the public domain in the United States because the last claimant, David O. Selznick, did not renew its copyright registration in the 28th year after publication.
