A Farewell To Arms (1932) (Blu-ray + DVD)

A FAREWELL TO ARMS (Dual Format Edition)
A film by Frank Borzage

Beautifully restored to High Definition, the original, Oscar-winning version of A Farewell to Arms is released to mark the centenary of the outbreak of World War 1.

A forgotten masterpiece, Frank Borzage's film of Ernest Hemingway's novel, published just two years earlier, is both a persuasive picture of the nightmare that was World War 1 and a deeply affecting tribute to the transcendent power of love. Starring Gary Cooper as Frederic Henry, an American serving in the Italian ambulance brigade who meets, through his cynical, womanising doctor friend (Adolphe Menjou), Catherine (Helen Hayes), an English nurse whose fiancé died at the Somme.

A hugely popular film when it was first released in 1932, A Farewell to Arms was nominated for four Oscars and won for Best Cinematography and Best Sound
