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.

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
