Synopsis
A Farewell to Arms (1932) is a wartime romance you can watch online on iFILM. Adapted from Ernest Hemingway's early novel, it follows Frederic Henry, an American driving an ambulance for the Italian army while the front along the Austrian border grinds down everyone near it.
Director Frank Borzage keeps the camera on two people rather than the battles. Lieutenant Henry, played by Gary Cooper, meets British nurse Catherine Barkley (Helen Hayes) in a field hospital, and a quick spark turns into the only thing either of them wants to survive for. Henry's reassignment pulls them apart; then comes the retreat at Caporetto, then a border that has to be crossed in the dark. Every choice costs something no peacetime life could imagine.
One of the best-known Hollywood pictures of the early 1930s, made just three years after the book appeared. It will reward anyone fond of old black-and-white cinema and stories where love and history break against each other. Stream A Farewell to Arms (1932) online on iFILM.
