Customer Reviews

Love found - love lost - love found – love never lost.

A Frank Borzage production that is based on a novel by Ernest Hemingway, this is a story of the love between ambulance driver Lieutenant Henry (Gary Cooper) and Nurse Catherine Barkley (Helen Hayes) during World War I. The story is made complex by the interference of Major Rinaldi (Adolphe Menjou). “Disaster, as well as victory, is written for every nation on the record of the World War, but high on the rolls of glory two names are inscribed -- -- The Marne and the Piave.” This is a real tearjerker in black and white. However, it is well made, and the story keeps the movie. We can even feel sorry for the misguided friendship of Major Rinaldi, which contributed greatly to the disaster in the story. I was struck by seeing the young Helen Hayes, as the first time I saw her was in the movie “Airport” (1970).
