Rating:  - Five Kleenexes! at least
I'm not a fan of war films. There is too much shooting for me in this and I wondered if Hemingway had a love affair with guns. It's very long and some of the sets look really fake. Sometimes I lost track of the characters.
However I had to give it five stars! Why, after all these criticisms? One, for the theme. Although these specific characters were fictional, they were based on real people who gave their lives fighting for their principles. Not the least of these heroes and ... Read More
Rating:  - strobe lights in a cave
This is a wonderful movie, but the dvd has flickering light in some scenes especially on dark colors. a vhs tape would be more watchable.
Rating: - Gary Cooper Grandad of Indiana Jones
This is my second favorite film of all time next to The adventures of Robin Hood(1938) staring Errol Fynn.This movie has everything action adventure and romance .I never

Ingrid Bergman (I always had a crush on her ) plays a 19 year old spainish girl ,it's hard to believe she was 27 when she made this film ... Read More
Rating:  - Very fine acting...but a flawed movie
Review of DVD: This is a nicely restored version of the film, with reasonalbly good color (a bit contrasty sometimes), with good sound. DVD extras are adequate, but sparce by modern movie standards.

Discussion of the movie: Cooper ... Read More
Rating: - For Whom the Bell Tolls
A splendid adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's novel, this rousing, romantic adventure tells the tale of a love between a Spanish-born guerilla and an outsider who's joined the cause out of political solidarity. Featuring solid performances by Cooper and the ravishing Bergman--who gets off one of cinema's most famous kissing lines ("I always wondered where the noses went")--Wood's film is an absorbing treat. Katina Paxinou even picked up an Oscar for her fiery performance as de facto rebel leader Pilar. ... Read More
