Editorial Review:
Description:
Set against the backdrop of the Italian front during World War I, an American Army volunteer (Rock Hudson) meets a British nurse (Jennifer Jones) on the eve of the big offensive in the Alps and they fall passionately in love. Torn apart, then reunited, they escape to Switzerland to await the birth of their child - and the tragic conclusion to their once-in-a-lifetime romance. 'Moving and realistic' (The Hollywood Reporter), this sweeping epic remains a powerful and emotional experience.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Rochie
A fine WW1 romantic drama of Hemingway's novel. Sincere performance from Rock Hudson as American officer in the crumbling Italian Army. Film a tad dated yet strangely p.c. and modern regarding Jennifer Jones' unwed mum-to-be. Worth watching.

Rating: - An Uneven Movie But Worth Watching
I saw this film years ago and was curious to see if it is still worth seeing after 50 years. The movie is beautifully filmed; the panoramic views are spectacular. The evacuation of the Italian Army is extremely well done. Rock Hudson as Lt. Frederick Henry, an American ambulance driver in World War I, proves that he can act in addition to being extremely handsome. He is by far the best thing about the movie. Jennifer Jones does not fair as well. One suspects that she may have gotten the part of Catherine ... Read More
Rating:  - Lavish and entertaining but unmoving remake
The 1957 version of A Farewell to Arms is a mixture of the best and worst of David O. Selznick. On the plus side is the no expense spared lavishness of the whole production, with great Italian locations, great production design, a good supporting cast (including an excellent Vittorio de Sica, Alberto Sordi and Elaine Stritch) and a cast of thousands. On the debit side, there's some hokey love scenes and the miscasting of Selznick's private leading lady Jennifer Jones, lisping her way through an awkward British ... Read More
