A Farewell to Arms (1932) is an American romantic war drama directed by Frank Borzage, based on Ernest Hemingway’s 1929 novel. The film stars Gary Cooper as Lt. Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver in the Italian Army during World War I, and Helen Hayes as Catherine Barkley, the British nurse he falls deeply in love with.
The story follows their passionate but tragic romance as Frederic deserts the front to reunite with Catherine, only for fate — and war — to intervene. Borzage’s direction emphasizes emotional intensity, expressionistic lighting, and the theme of love struggling to survive in a world shattered by conflict.
The film was a major success and is widely considered one of the strongest pre‑Code literary adaptations. It won two Academy Awards and remains one of the most famous early sound‑era war romances.

00:00:00The End
00:00:59Let's go.
00:01:08Let's go.
00:01:40Let's go.
00:01:43Driver, stop.
00:01:44What trouble is in there?
00:01:45Why do you want to stop?
00:01:47The man up there, he's bleeding to death.
00:01:50Can't stop.
00:01:51Not here.
00:01:53Breaks won't hold.
00:01:54Let's go.
00:01:56Let's go.
00:01:57Let's go.
00:01:57Let's go.
00:02:06Let's go.
00:02:15Let's go.
00:02:17Let's go.
00:02:17Let's go.
00:02:18Let's go.
00:02:19Let's go.
00:02:46Let's go.
00:03:09Let's go.
00:03:13Let's go.
00:03:15Let's go.
00:03:16Let's go.
00:03:17Let's go.
00:03:19Yes, sir, out that way, straight ahead.
00:03:22Thank you, Major.
00:03:22Yes.
00:03:56What's the girlfriend been doing?
00:04:02Typical male conceit.
00:04:13I think they're going to send her back home.
00:04:15That's a shame.
00:04:16She'll be disgraced.
00:04:20Shhh, here they come.
00:04:26Well, is it necessary for us all to be here at one time?
00:04:30Get back to your posts.
00:04:32You will be packed and ready to leave within the hour.
00:04:39Molly.
00:04:43Can I help you pack?
00:04:45I guess so.
00:04:47If you want to.
00:04:48Why, of course I want to.
00:04:52Good girl.
00:04:53I beg you, Father.
00:04:54I say she's the only human being in the whole lot of us.
00:05:00I'm sorry, Miss Barclay appears to sympathize with one who has disgraced the uniform we all wear.
00:05:08I'll just get back to the floor.
00:05:11Go all the way.
00:05:15Come take the floor.
00:05:29You do not to clean everything.
00:05:32Come take the floor.
00:05:34All right, let's get back.
00:05:35All right, let's get back.
00:05:36All right.
00:05:36How do you feel? Is there going to be an offensive?
00:05:38Were you on the fire? Madonna, but I worried about you.
00:05:41Yes, I can see how much you've been worrying.
00:05:43Seven operations today, baby.
00:05:45And one of them was beautiful.
00:05:48I took the heart out.
00:05:50It lay in my hand, and it beat like this.
00:05:54You should have seen it. It was lovely.
00:05:57Soon Rinaldi will be the best surgeon in all the corps.
00:06:00Then, in all the army.
00:06:02And someday, in all of Italy.
00:06:04Why not in all the world?
00:06:05Why not?
00:06:08You will like it here, baby.
00:06:10What sort of a town is this? Any girls?
00:06:12Many beautiful English nurses.
00:06:15The most beautiful is Miss Barkley.
00:06:17I am in love with her.
00:06:19Does she know it?
00:06:20Not yet.
00:06:21Have you any money?
00:06:23Yes.
00:06:23Lend me 50 lire.
00:06:25What for?
00:06:26I want to make on Miss Barkley the impression of a man of sufficient wealth.
00:06:30All right.
00:06:31You are my great and good friend and financial protector.
00:06:34You're an ass.
00:06:35And now, we will eat and drink, and I will take you to meet Miss Barkley.
00:06:39But, you must make for me a good impression upon her.
00:06:42Now, listen.
00:06:44But you must.
00:06:45And you can have a nurse, too.
00:06:47There is another one named Miss Ferguson.
00:06:49She is also very, very nice.
00:06:51No.
00:06:51No?
00:06:54No?
00:06:54First, we will eat and drink.
00:06:56And then, we'll go and see the girls.
00:06:58Yes?
00:07:01Yes.
00:07:04You see.
00:07:06She doesn't know.
00:07:08Hmm.
00:07:10I don't know what to do.
00:07:11Neither do I.
00:07:11Oh, you've got too much wine.
00:07:14It's filthy wine.
00:07:15It takes the enamel off your teeth and leaves it on the roof of your mouth.
00:07:19Where was I?
00:07:20Architecture.
00:07:22Oh, yes.
00:07:23Look.
00:07:24I'll explain.
00:07:27This, my dear, is called an arch.
00:08:01And I'll do it later.
00:08:02Oh, yes.
00:08:02Mario!
00:08:02There we go.
00:08:08Oh.
00:08:19The arch, my dear, is perhaps the oldest of architectural devices.
00:08:25Arch. Architecture.
00:08:27The very word will tell you how inextricably the two are one.
00:08:32In a word, my dear, architecture is the most ancient of the arts.
00:08:39You better put your shoe on or you'll get cold feet.
00:08:45If you please, I'd like to go now. The air raid seems to be over.
00:08:51Catherine! Catherine!
00:08:54Catherine!
00:08:54Here I am, Fergie. I'm coming.
00:08:56Oh, I was so worried.
00:08:58Oh, you think I've been blown away?
00:09:01I didn't know what to think. Nobody saw where you went.
00:09:03Who's that man?
00:09:06Oh, I don't know. Some lunatic.
00:09:08Come on.
00:09:18What if we take the mountains to the north?
00:09:20Behind them are more mountains, and behind those, more yet.
00:09:24And we take them all.
00:09:25Only if the Austrian stop fighting.
00:09:27One side the worst stop.
00:09:29Stop? It'll go on forever.
00:09:31Like him.
00:09:42The police want the Austrian to win the war.
00:09:45Oh, no, no. It is not true.
00:09:47But you don't want us to attack.
00:09:49We must have war. I suppose we have to attack.
00:09:52You don't want us to attack.
00:09:53Oh, but so many die that way.
00:09:55But what is death to a Christian?
00:10:09Don't encourage him, Fergie.
00:10:12Oh, Frederico.
00:10:14Oh, you are back safe.
00:10:15Hello, Father.
00:10:16I am so glad.
00:10:17The priest prayed for you, Frederico.
00:10:19Every time you go up, he does the same.
00:10:21Oh, I pray for you all.
00:10:22You are late, baby.
00:10:23How is it up there?
00:10:24Quiet.
00:10:25You nearly missed the party.
00:10:27But it is very dull.
00:10:28But Miss Barclay is here, and her friend Miss Ferguson.
00:10:32The one you will like.
00:10:33Come.
00:10:37Miss Barclay, uh, permit me to present to you my friend and war brother, Lieutenant Henry.
00:10:43He has just returned back from the front.
00:10:45How do you do?
00:10:47How do you do?
00:10:48And this is Miss Ferguson.
00:10:51How do you do?
00:10:53How do you do?
00:10:55He begins again, that fellow.
00:10:57Quick, let us go into the garden.
00:11:18Now, you stay here.
00:11:20I will find something for us to drink.
00:11:23Asti, grappa, vermuth...
00:11:25Which do you like?
00:11:26All of them.
00:11:27Then you shall have all of them.
00:11:46Nice out here.
00:11:47Isn't it?
00:11:52We seem fated to bump into each other in the dark.
00:11:55I'm sorry about that.
00:11:57I mistook you for someone else.
00:11:59So I gathered.
00:12:01I'd been drinking.
00:12:02I gathered that too.
00:12:05Mad?
00:12:06No.
00:12:08You're an American, aren't you?
00:12:09Yes.
00:12:10Well, then what are you doing in the Italian army?
00:12:13It's not really the army.
00:12:15It's only the ambulance.
00:12:16It's very odd, though.
00:12:17Why'd you do it?
00:12:19I don't know.
00:12:20Why did you?
00:12:21Oh, I joined up in England.
00:12:24Besides, the boy I was engaged to had gone across.
00:12:32Where is Miss Ferguson?
00:12:33Why don't you go see?
00:12:36Yes, do bring her out, Captain Rinaldi.
00:12:50Have some?
00:12:52Thanks.
00:12:55He's sore.
00:12:57What for?
00:12:58Because I'm here with you.
00:13:01Women prefer him, as a rule.
00:13:07Shall we take a walk?
00:13:10Yes, let's.
00:13:14Where is he now?
00:13:16Who?
00:13:16The boy you're engaged to.
00:13:19He's dead.
00:13:20Oh.
00:13:21He was killed in the Somme.
00:13:23Were you engaged long?
00:13:25Eight years.
00:13:26We grew up together.
00:13:28Why didn't you marry?
00:13:30I didn't know what the war was like then.
00:13:33If I had it to do over again, I'd marry him.
00:13:42When I joined up, I remember having this silly idea that he might come to the hospital where I was.
00:13:47With a saber cut, I suppose, and a bandage around his head, shot through the shoulder, something picturesque.
00:13:54This is the picturesque front, not France.
00:13:57He didn't have a saber cut.
00:14:00They blew him to bits.
00:14:49What are you thinking about now?
00:14:51About whiskey.
00:14:53What about whiskey?
00:14:55About how nice it is.
00:14:58And you're nice, too.
00:15:05No.
00:15:06Why not?
00:15:07No, don't.
00:15:08Yes.
00:15:08No, please.
00:15:15I'm sorry.
00:15:16Did I hurt you?
00:15:17It's all right.
00:15:19I'm dreadfully sorry, really.
00:15:22I just couldn't bear the nurse's evening off aspect of it.
00:15:27It's quite all right.
00:15:29I don't mind at all.
00:15:31Poor man.
00:15:32You see, I've been leading a funny sort of life.
00:15:37Besides, you're so very beautiful.
00:15:40You don't have to talk a lot of nonsense.
00:15:41I said I'm sorry.
00:15:45We could get along.
00:15:48We could get along with you.
00:15:48Couldn't we?
00:15:50You're sweet.
00:15:52No, I'm not.
00:15:53Yes, you're a dear.
00:15:56I'd be very glad to have you kiss me now, if you don't mind.
00:16:11Me too.
00:16:14Me too.
00:16:24My's with you.
00:16:39Did you have a nice time, baby?
00:16:43You made progress with her, eh?
00:16:45We're friends, if that's what you mean.
00:16:47I mean, was she nice to you?
00:16:50Shut up.
00:16:51I am a man of extreme delicacy, but was she...
00:16:54Grinoli, will you please shut up?
00:16:57If you want to be a friend of mine, shut up.
00:16:59I am your best friend and your war brother.
00:17:02Then shut up.
00:17:06Miss Barkley prefers you to me.
00:17:08That is very clear.
00:17:11But, eh, Miss Ferguson is very nice, too.
00:17:15You like her?
00:17:17No.
00:17:30No.
00:17:39No.
00:17:40No.
00:17:41No.
00:17:42Let's go.
00:18:10Good luck.
00:18:18Let's go.
00:18:53Turn back.
00:18:54Back?
00:18:55Yes, back.
00:19:28I want to see Mr. Barkley.
00:19:29She's on duty.
00:19:31Wait.
00:19:31You can't go in there.
00:19:36Wait.
00:19:58You can't go in there.
00:20:00What's wrong, Boremi?
00:20:01Don't we ever get started here?
00:20:02We've got plenty of time.
00:20:04Hold it.
00:20:06I thought you started.
00:20:07What are you doing here?
00:20:08We come back, signor Capitano.
00:20:10Tenente forgot something.
00:20:12Oh.
00:20:35You're all right, aren't you?
00:20:37Yes, I'm all right.
00:20:39You're all right.
00:20:40I came to...
00:20:41I thought...
00:20:44You see, I'm going to be away for a while.
00:20:48And I didn't want you to think that I'd just gone away.
00:20:53No, I...
00:20:54What I mean is...
00:20:56I'd hate to have you feel that...
00:20:59That it wasn't important to me...
00:21:03About...
00:21:03About us.
00:21:06I don't...
00:21:07Exactly know how to say it.
00:21:08You said it very nicely, dear.
00:21:13No, I don't mean...
00:21:15You mustn't feel...
00:21:16Will you be gone long?
00:21:18No.
00:21:20Only a few days.
00:21:21There's going to be a show above...
00:21:22Up above Plava.
00:21:24Nothing much, I guess.
00:21:25A show?
00:21:26You'll be careful, won't you?
00:21:28I won't get hit.
00:21:31Hold it.
00:21:38Here.
00:21:40It's a St. Anthony.
00:21:47They say a St. Anthony is very useful...
00:21:49To guard you from harm.
00:21:52I'll take good care of him.
00:22:00And I wish I could kiss you.
00:22:18He is my friend...
00:22:19And a good soldier.
00:22:20I do not like to see him...
00:22:21Lose his head over a woman.
00:22:24Aren't you exaggerating a bit?
00:22:26I think not.
00:22:27Couldn't we send her back...
00:22:28To the base, Major?
00:22:29No, if you could send her away...
00:22:30It would simplify everything.
00:22:33Could perhaps send her to Milan.
00:22:35Excellent, my dear Major.
00:22:36Magnificent.
00:22:37No wonder the English are first in diplomacy.
00:22:44What did you say her name was?
00:22:54What did you say?
00:22:54We won't get anything else to eat...
00:22:55Once the attack starts.
00:22:57This is all they'd give me.
00:23:00Starting to eat to the land?
00:23:01No.
00:23:02We'll all eat together.
00:23:03Come on.
00:23:03Sit down to it.
00:23:05Come on, Roger.
00:23:06I didn't put it.
00:23:07Get some presents.
00:23:09Here, come on.
00:23:11Here, you can.
00:23:12This is better than you.
00:23:14Here, take it.
00:23:15Oh, boy.
00:23:16Another beer.
00:23:18Here.
00:23:19All you want.
00:23:20Good night.
00:23:23Here, take some cheese.
00:23:24Let's go, Roger.
00:23:28Wash it down with wine.
00:23:29Tell him.
00:23:32Who goes to the attack?
00:23:33I don't know.
00:23:51If nobody would attack, the war would be over.
00:24:08It was a big one.
00:24:10420.
00:24:11No, it's behind the fives.
00:24:13Sounded like a scooter to me.
00:24:14Scooter?
00:24:15That's what I say.
00:24:37It was a scorer through.
00:24:38Is anybody hurt?
00:24:40My leg.
00:24:45I'm cold on my leg.
00:24:48You won't like it, T eleni.
00:24:50It was a scorer down.
00:24:52easy, now.
00:24:53Ven tel.
00:24:53I think...
00:24:55...lacenation of the scalp and possible
00:24:57flexion of the skull.
00:25:00Multiple superileri wounds of the left and right
00:25:03Right knee and right foot.
00:25:06Profound wounds of right knee and foot incurred in line of duty.
00:25:11Antitetanus, please.
00:25:24Come on, lift them up a little more.
00:25:26All right, go ahead.
00:25:27Hey, please.
00:25:41Hurry, hurry.
00:25:44How do you feel, baby?
00:25:48Rinaldi, what are you doing here?
00:25:50Bonello telephoned to me.
00:25:52The Major gave me permission to come.
00:25:55No one shall hurt you, baby.
00:25:57I won't let them.
00:25:58No butcher is going to touch my wall, Robert.
00:26:00Only Rinaldi can take you and never hurt you.
00:26:04You must forgive me, baby, for talking so much,
00:26:06but I am very moved to see you badly wounded.
00:26:10How did it happen?
00:26:12I will see you are decorated for bravery.
00:26:14Perhaps we can get you the medaglia d'agento,
00:26:16but surely the bronze one.
00:26:17Did you carry somebody on your back?
00:26:18I didn't carry anybody.
00:26:20I couldn't move.
00:26:21Surely there was something heroic.
00:26:23Tell me what you did.
00:26:25I was blown up eating cheese.
00:26:30Don't worry, baby.
00:26:31I will fix you so that you are as good as new.
00:26:33You will see.
00:26:34Every day I learn to do things smoother, quicker.
00:26:38Soon, very soon, you will be walking again.
00:26:42I brought a present for you.
00:26:44You will find it under your blanket next to your heart.
00:26:47It is a bottle of brandy, baby.
00:26:49Very good brandy.
00:26:50The infantry captured it from the Austrians on San Gabriele.
00:26:54I have another surprise for you.
00:26:56Take a deep breath.
00:26:58Where do you think you will go from here?
00:27:00To the Italian hospital where they have the male nurses,
00:27:03with the beards?
00:27:04No.
00:27:05I will arrange everything with my friend, the British Major.
00:27:09You will go to Milan.
00:27:10To the beautiful Miss Barclay.
00:27:13That makes you happy, huh?
00:27:15To think of Rinaldi.
00:27:17Left all alone with the war.
00:27:18No one to make fun of.
00:27:20No one to lend him money.
00:27:22While you...
00:27:23While you were in Milan,
00:27:25with the beautiful Miss Barclay,
00:27:27making love in Milan,
00:27:30to the chase of Miss Barclay.
00:27:54Look out for the step.
00:28:16Why do you stop?
00:28:18I am the superintendent.
00:28:20May I have your medical papers, please?
00:28:22They're in my coat.
00:28:23In the button-down pocket.
00:28:26Take him up those stairs.
00:28:28Down the corridor.
00:28:29His room is the one at the end.
00:28:31You show them, Julio.
00:28:33Who are you?
00:28:35I'm deported, Signor Tenente.
00:28:37Come.
00:28:38Follow me.
00:28:50Now, Signor Tenente,
00:28:51we must lift you off in bed.
00:28:52All right.
00:28:53But keep my legs straight.
00:28:54Si, si, Signor Tenente.
00:28:59Anything more, Signor Tenente?
00:29:01Get me some brandy.
00:29:02No, it is not allowed, Signor Tenente.
00:29:04Wasn't I wounded,
00:29:05fighting for the glory of Hitchley?
00:29:07You'll find some money in my pocket.
00:29:09As you wish.
00:29:16So it's you.
00:29:17Ferguson.
00:29:18Is Catherine here?
00:29:19As if you didn't know.
00:29:21I believe that's why you got wounded.
00:29:22Where is she?
00:29:23You're to be still.
00:29:24Here's your chart.
00:29:26Now I must take your temperature.
00:29:27Does she know I'm here?
00:29:29Under the arm, please.
00:29:40Hello, darling.
00:29:41Catherine.
00:29:44You're lovely.
00:29:45Are you badly hurt?
00:29:46You're lovely.
00:29:48Oh, my poor darling.
00:29:49It's your leg, isn't it?
00:29:50You're the loveliest thing I ever saw.
00:29:56I have to go now, darling.
00:29:57I can't stay.
00:29:58You'll come back?
00:29:59Later, but we'll have to be awfully careful.
00:30:01You've got to come back.
00:30:01Oh, well, when I can.
00:30:03Tonight.
00:30:03I'll try.
00:30:06Somebody's coming.
00:30:08Tonight.
00:30:15I'll take that thermometer now.
00:30:21Good gracious.
00:30:24Pitch the doctor.
00:30:26It's a miracle you're not delirious with such a fever.
00:30:29I haven't got any fever.
00:30:30Stay quiet, please.
00:30:32It's not what you think.
00:30:59I've brought you a few little things.
00:31:01And this is mosquito netting.
00:31:02And this is a bottle of vermouth.
00:31:04I've brought you a few little things.
00:31:04You like vermouth, huh?
00:31:06And these are English papers.
00:31:08Thank you, Father.
00:31:09It's very good of you to come.
00:31:10Oh, but I mustn't stay long.
00:31:12They warned me not to tire you.
00:31:13You seem very tired yourself.
00:31:15Yeah, I am tired, but I have no right to be.
00:31:18You have the war disgust.
00:31:19Oh.
00:31:20But I hate the war.
00:31:22I don't enjoy it.
00:31:24But you do not mind it.
00:31:25You do not see it.
00:31:27Oh, you must forgive me.
00:31:28I know you are wounded.
00:31:29That was an accident.
00:31:30Still even wounded.
00:31:32You do not see it.
00:31:33I can tell.
00:31:34I do not see it myself, but I feel it a little.
00:31:38Come in, Cap.
00:31:42Well, don't go yet, Father.
00:31:43It's still early.
00:31:44You are sure?
00:31:45In the operation in the morning, he should rest.
00:31:47Oh, he's strong.
00:31:49He has such a lovely temperature.
00:31:50It's always normal.
00:31:51I'm very proud of his temperature.
00:31:53Maybe all our children will have fine temperatures, too.
00:31:56Our children will probably have beastly temperatures.
00:32:00Don't mind us, Father.
00:32:01We're in love.
00:32:03I know.
00:32:04I could see it in your faces.
00:32:07You're a groove, don't you, Father?
00:32:08Yes, Father.
00:32:10You spoke of children.
00:32:15This, too, is the war.
00:32:16Without the war, you would live married in God's grace.
00:32:21Is it not so?
00:32:28And you?
00:32:31Well, I...
00:32:32I hadn't thought about it like that, but...
00:32:36Yes, I suppose so.
00:32:58Father, are you?
00:33:00Is that the marriage service?
00:33:02Father, are you?
00:33:04Is that the marriage service?
00:33:04Is it the truth?
00:33:07Oh, Ah!
00:33:08You have us all come here.
00:33:10You are all in comes.
00:33:31Poor Captain.
00:33:33Such a crazy marriage.
00:33:35At least I'm in white.
00:33:39No orange blossoms?
00:33:40I can smell them.
00:33:44No organ music?
00:33:45I can hear it plainly.
00:34:01It has made me happy to do this.
00:34:04For now, from my heart, I can say I bless you in his name.
00:34:07Thank you, Father.
00:34:11Goodbye and be happy, both of you.
00:34:13Thank you, Father.
00:34:16Give my regards to the mess.
00:34:18I will.
00:34:19And get well soon.
00:34:20I will come again the next time I am in Milan.
00:34:23Goodbye, my dear.
00:34:24Goodbye.
00:34:49Goodbye.
00:35:01Bye.
00:35:06That was a mystery.
00:35:07I love you.
00:35:37That's the opera I made my debut in, at the Scala.
00:35:41They threw benches at it.
00:35:43That's a lie.
00:35:44Yes, they did.
00:35:45I threw six benches myself.
00:35:46That's not funny.
00:35:54Oh, now he's offended.
00:35:55He'll get over it.
00:35:56That's his sore spot.
00:35:57We always tease him.
00:35:58You don't care whom you hurt.
00:36:00Now, don't you get mad, too.
00:36:02Catherine and I were thinking of asking you to our wedding.
00:36:05What'd we get?
00:36:06You'll never get married.
00:36:07We will.
00:36:08No, you won't.
00:36:09We'll fight before you'll marry.
00:36:11Oh, we never fight.
00:36:12You've time yet.
00:36:12We won't fight ever.
00:36:13You'll die, then.
00:36:15Fight or die.
00:36:16That's what people do.
00:36:18They don't marry.
00:36:19Why, Fergie.
00:36:21Don't.
00:36:22I'm not crying.
00:36:26Maybe you'll be all right, you two.
00:36:29Why, Fergie.
00:36:31What is the matter with her?
00:36:33She doesn't like me, that's all.
00:36:35Oh, no.
00:36:36She just likes me more.
00:36:45Are you on night duty tonight?
00:36:47Yes, but you won't care.
00:36:48You'll go right off to sleep.
00:36:50You wait and see.
00:36:51Mm-hmm.
00:36:53Darling, how many other girls have you ever loved?
00:36:57None.
00:36:58How many, really?
00:37:00None.
00:37:02How many have you, um, loved?
00:37:06None.
00:37:06You're lying to me.
00:37:08Of course.
00:37:09Oh, that's right.
00:37:10You just keep right on lying.
00:37:11That's what I want you to do.
00:37:14Were they pretty?
00:37:16I've never been with anyone.
00:37:17That's right, darling.
00:37:20What were they like?
00:37:22I don't know anything about it.
00:37:24You're just mine, that's true.
00:37:26You've never belonged to anyone else.
00:37:29I don't care if you have, though.
00:37:30I'm not afraid of them.
00:37:31Only don't tell me about them.
00:37:33You never told them you loved them, did you?
00:37:35No.
00:37:36I knew you wouldn't.
00:37:39Oh, darling, I do love you.
00:37:41Then kiss me.
00:37:42Right here in the street?
00:37:43Yes.
00:37:58I'll go in first.
00:38:12So, what is this, if I may ask?
00:38:15What was in it?
00:38:17That's Kimmel.
00:38:19That's the best kind.
00:38:20It comes in those bear-shaped bottles from Russia.
00:38:22And these?
00:38:24That's brandy, wine, and whiskey.
00:38:27And I've been pitying you for being wounded.
00:38:30Pity is something that is wasted on you.
00:38:33If you're so anxious not to go back to the front,
00:38:35I should think you'd try something more intelligent.
00:38:37Not self-inflicted alcoholism.
00:38:40What?
00:38:40I said alcoholism.
00:38:42And I also say that I'll see your convalescent leave is cancelled.
00:38:47You'll go back to the front tomorrow night.
00:39:20I'll see you later.
00:39:22Nobody but you ever realized it.
00:39:24At first, I thought you were a crazy girl.
00:39:26I was a little crazy at first.
00:39:32Was that your train?
00:39:34Maybe.
00:39:35It makes up a turn, but it stays in the station here till time to leave.
00:39:40There's really lots of time.
00:39:46But at my back, I always hear
00:39:49Time's a wicked chariot hurrying near.
00:39:52I know that poem. It's by Marvel.
00:40:02Listen.
00:40:09It's only the rain.
00:40:11I hate the rain.
00:40:13I like it.
00:40:15I'm afraid of the rain.
00:40:17Afraid? Why?
00:40:19I...
00:40:19Oh, well, perhaps it's silly.
00:40:22What? Tell me.
00:40:23No, don't make me.
00:40:24Tell me.
00:40:26All right.
00:40:28I'm afraid of the rain because sometimes I see me dead in it.
00:40:31No.
00:40:32And sometimes I see you dead in it.
00:40:36That's more likely.
00:40:37Oh, now, darling, don't say that.
00:40:44That is your train.
00:40:47Times winged chariot.
00:40:55I'll come with you, hmm?
00:40:57No, please.
00:40:57I don't want you...
00:40:59Not at the station.
00:41:01All right, darling.
00:41:03How often will you write?
00:41:04So often as I can.
00:41:05Do they read your letters?
00:41:06They can't read English enough to hurt any.
00:41:08Well, I'll make them very confusing.
00:41:10But not too confusing.
00:41:11Oh, I should have got you a going-away gift.
00:41:14A whistle to make you feel better in the dark.
00:41:16Or a sword.
00:41:17I'm sure we could get a used sword very cheap.
00:41:19Swords aren't very useful at the front.
00:41:21Oh, I see.
00:41:22They get in the way of your legs when you're running.
00:41:24They might be useful at mess, though.
00:41:29I'm afraid I have to start, darling.
00:41:33I hate to leave our fine house.
00:41:36So do I.
00:41:39We never stay settled very long in a home, do we?
00:41:42We will.
00:41:45I'll have a fine home for you when you come back.
00:41:49Say, I'll come back to Catherine.
00:41:53I'll come back to Catherine.
00:42:02I'll always come back.
00:42:08Maybe this time you'll be hurt just a little in the foot.
00:42:12Or the lobe of the ear.
00:42:13Oh, no, no, no.
00:42:13I want your ears just the way they are.
00:42:15Your feet have been hurt already.
00:42:27My eyes, baby.
00:42:29my eyes.
00:42:48Mary, I'll be nice for you.
00:42:49Good night.
00:43:27Oh
00:43:49I'm going to go down to the Appianaglio for a moment.
00:44:23I want a ticket to Switzerland, please.
00:44:25To where, signora? To what town?
00:44:27The nearest one to Italy.
00:44:28That would be Brissago, signora.
00:44:29Then give me a ticket to Brissago.
00:44:30All right.
00:44:31Oh.
00:44:32Oh, Fergie, I was afraid you wouldn't come.
00:44:34Would you mind telling me what this is all about?
00:44:36I'm going away.
00:44:37So I gathered by this, but...
00:44:38You didn't tell him?
00:44:39Well, what would be the good?
00:44:40It would only worry him.
00:44:41He'd have to go anyway.
00:44:42Aren't you going to tell him?
00:44:44Well, not yet.
00:44:45I may ride him from... from Switzerland.
00:44:48You're afraid.
00:44:49You're a fool.
00:44:49Here, signora.
00:44:51On track three.
00:44:52Oh, thank you.
00:44:53But what's the hurry?
00:44:54Why tonight?
00:44:55Couldn't go back to that hospital.
00:44:56I couldn't stand it.
00:44:57Not with him gone.
00:44:58But you'll be all alone in Switzerland.
00:44:59Don't worry, Fergie.
00:45:00I'll be all right.
00:45:04You're not afraid of anything, are you?
00:45:07Only of going back to that hospital.
00:45:10Don't scold me, Fergie.
00:45:14I'll carry it.
00:45:39Get himself...
00:45:43To his head.
00:45:53I've always told you I was a crazy girl.
00:45:55I couldn't bear my land with you away.
00:45:57So I'll chuck the war and come to live in this little Swiss town as near as possible to the
00:46:01Italian border and you.
00:46:03And darling, it's an adorable place.
00:46:05I'm going to be very happy here.
00:46:07I've taken a suite...
00:46:12Sweet, in the best hotel and I'm fairly wallowing in luxury.
00:46:17The bed is ampere and fit for an empress.
00:46:21There's a maroon velvet carpet, ankle deep, and a bathroom.
00:46:25Oh, darling, the bathroom.
00:46:26It's of black marble with silver fittings.
00:46:30I've just dined in state at my sitting room window,
00:46:35from which there is a divine view of the lake, shimmering in moonlight.
00:46:52I'm an awful liar, darling.
00:46:54It's not really a nice place at all.
00:46:56It's mean, cheap, and horrible.
00:46:58But it doesn't matter where I live,
00:47:00because I don't really live at all when I'm not with you.
00:47:05Oh, darling.
00:47:09What I really want to tell you is that
00:47:12that I shall lie awake in the dark and cry because you're not here.
00:47:17I'm lonely and frightened.
00:47:20And I love you.
00:47:22Oh.
00:47:34Hurry, baby.
00:47:35Why?
00:47:36Time to go.
00:47:37Go where?
00:47:38But I told you before, to the Villa Rosa.
00:47:40New girls, everybody's going.
00:47:42Not me.
00:47:43But you must.
00:47:44It will be a fine party.
00:47:45And besides, I said you would go.
00:47:47I can.
00:47:47I've got to write some letters.
00:47:49Oh, to that little...
00:47:52Every day more letters.
00:47:53You might as well be married.
00:47:54That's my business.
00:47:56Oh, baby.
00:47:58How you have come back to me.
00:48:00Serious like a shopkeeper with a liver.
00:48:03Where is my war brother who used to get drunk with me
00:48:05and go to the Villa Rosa every night?
00:48:07Leave me alone, will you?
00:48:10Why?
00:48:11Isn't she just a girl?
00:48:14Keep her out of this.
00:48:16Sacred subject.
00:48:17Believe me, baby.
00:48:19Sacred subjects are not good for soldiers.
00:48:23Why don't you be like me?
00:48:24All fire and smoke.
00:48:26And do nothing inside.
00:48:29Come on, baby.
00:48:30You're drunk.
00:48:30Stop it.
00:48:31Of course I am drunk.
00:48:33You come with me and you will be drunk, too.
00:48:35Come on, baby.
00:48:37Oh, I am sorry.
00:48:38Now you must come.
00:48:39There is no more ink.
00:48:41Get your hands off me and get out.
00:48:49Poor baby.
00:48:51Tomorrow I will get you drunk
00:48:52and I will take out your liver
00:48:54and I will put you in a good Italian liver
00:48:56and make a man of you again.
00:48:58Ciao, baby.
00:49:11You're going out, signor Capitano?
00:49:13Yes, why?
00:49:15The mail just came, signor Capitano.
00:49:17You censored it.
00:49:18Signor Capitano.
00:49:20The officer's mail, too?
00:49:25Very well.
00:49:39Aren't you going to open them, signor Capitano?
00:49:41No.
00:49:42I'm in a hurry.
00:50:01I'm in a hurry.
00:50:01Send this one back.
00:50:02Yes, signor Capitano.
00:50:03I do not like to see him lose his head over a woman.
00:50:07Yes, signor Capitano.
00:50:31I do not like to see him.
00:50:31And today, my letters came back.
00:50:33Every one I had ever written on.
00:50:34Came back.
00:50:35Just marked return to sender.
00:50:37Person unknown.
00:50:38Well, that's very strange.
00:50:4032 letters.
00:50:41She never got one.
00:50:42Well, that's why she never wrote you.
00:50:43No.
00:50:45She'd have written me anyway.
00:50:46Something's happened to her.
00:50:47Have you tried to...
00:50:48I can't get any information at all.
00:50:51I've got to go and find her, myself.
00:50:53Now, can you?
00:50:54I'm going to Milan.
00:50:55I'll find her.
00:50:56But aren't all leaves of absence forbidden
00:50:58since that battle in the north began?
00:51:00I'm going anyway.
00:51:01Well, that's desertion.
00:51:03I don't care.
00:51:04I'm going.
00:51:05You'll be caught.
00:51:06You mustn't do this, Federico.
00:51:08Yes, I must.
00:51:09That's what I wanted to tell you, Padre.
00:51:12What does this war mean to me anymore?
00:51:14What does anything mean but finding her?
00:51:16But, Federico, consider the...
00:51:18I can depend on you, Padre.
00:51:23Say goodbye to Rinaldi and the others for me.
00:51:26When are you leaving?
00:51:28Now.
00:51:28While they're at dinner.
00:51:29And by morning, when they miss me,
00:51:31I'll be halfway to Milan.
00:51:32If they ask me what will I say, I...
00:51:35Anything you like.
00:51:37Goodbye, Padre.
00:51:39Goodbye, Federico.
00:51:40May the Lord bless and preserve you.
00:52:11CPA, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:52:22David.
00:52:22Oh, mate.
00:52:25Oh, my God.
00:58:31What are you doing back here?
00:58:33Where's Catherine?
00:58:35I know.
00:58:36You've run away.
00:58:37You're a deserter.
00:58:39Where is she? I've got to see her.
00:58:40You can't. She's gone.
00:58:42Gone? Where?
00:58:43Then you'd better get out.
00:58:46I know.
00:58:47Has she been transferred?
00:58:49If you don't get out of here, I'll scream and bring the whole hospital down on you.
00:58:53Why'd she go? Where? Tell me.
00:58:54No.
00:58:56Tell me where she is.
00:58:57Hate you. Understand? I won't tell you anything.
00:59:00I hope they catch you.
00:59:01I hope they shoot you.
00:59:03Pay you back for what you've done to her.
00:59:05Making her have a baby.
00:59:08Baby?
00:59:09Oh, I warned you, but you didn't care.
00:59:11Not about her.
00:59:12Now she's had to go away.
00:59:13Where? Where? Oh, for pity's sake, tell me.
00:59:16Fergie.
00:59:17No! No!
00:59:20No!
00:59:21No!
00:59:22No!
00:59:23What can he do?
00:59:24Be careful, girls.
00:59:25Where is he?
00:59:29And, uh, get me some clothes.
00:59:31A full outfit.
00:59:32I can't go around in this uniform.
00:59:34As long as I don't get mixed up in it myself.
00:59:37You won't.
00:59:38I just want you to get some things and put an advertisement in the newspaper for me.
00:59:41I really oughtn't kill, if I had any sense.
00:59:45I know I shall have awful gas pains in the morning as a result of this.
00:59:49Just say...
00:59:52Catherine...
00:59:52Where are you?
00:59:55I am free at last.
00:59:57Meet me, Palace Hotel, Straser.
01:00:02Signed, Frederick.
01:00:03You made a taste, you eh?
01:00:03Ow, pal, pal!
01:00:09Chief, Andre, I am so happy to start your happiness!uled
01:00:14thì fui. He's
01:00:32Desea. This is
01:00:34The Major made an obituary speech in your memory, and the priest, he wanted to say mass for your soul.
01:00:39But what?
01:00:40Vermouth, one for you, two vermouth.
01:00:43You see, we all thought you were dead.
01:00:45It never occurred to us that you might have been shell-shocked, wandered away, lost your memory.
01:00:50How did you find me?
01:00:52I saw your advertisements in the paper.
01:00:56But as soon as we knew, we arranged everything.
01:00:58Rinaldi will work on you with one of his miraculous cures.
01:01:01You will go back a hero.
01:01:02I'm not going back.
01:01:04They will decorate you for bravery.
01:01:05They will even promote you.
01:01:07No.
01:01:09I'm through the war at that straight.
01:01:12But you cannot do that.
01:01:14You cannot just stop and say I'm through with the war.
01:01:15They will not let you do that.
01:01:16Two vermouth.
01:01:25Can I speak to you a moment, sir?
01:01:27It's all right, Harry.
01:01:28He's my friend.
01:01:29But I, uh, he keeps telling me that...
01:01:32It's dangerous for me to stay here any longer.
01:01:34But the policeman was in tonight.
01:01:36He spoke of notifying the carabinieri.
01:01:38When will they come?
01:01:39But tonight, tomorrow, who knows?
01:01:41But soon.
01:01:42My boat is still ready, sir.
01:01:46Thank you, Harry.
01:01:50If they arrest you, no one can save you.
01:01:52I know that.
01:01:53They will shoot you.
01:01:54Look.
01:01:55Get this through your head.
01:01:57I'm not going back.
01:01:59I've got to wait here until I can find Catherine.
01:02:04And how do you expect to do that?
01:02:06I've got some people looking for her.
01:02:08Hmm.
01:02:09That is more important than...
01:02:11She's going to have a baby.
01:02:14My baby.
01:02:19So.
01:02:21And that means everything to you.
01:02:25Yes, it would.
01:02:27It means that I've got to find her and get her out of Italy.
01:02:31Perhaps she is no longer in Italy.
01:02:34What makes you say that?
01:02:35She is in Switzerland.
01:02:38Where?
01:02:39Brissago.
01:02:41Brissago.
01:02:43Harry.
01:03:07Will you do one for me, too?
01:03:09Yes, madam.
01:03:10Step around here.
01:03:12Just the head, please.
01:03:31Please.
01:03:48Please.
01:03:49Isn't there any mail for me yet?
01:03:50Ah, madam.
01:03:52Yes, yes.
01:03:53Today there are letters.
01:03:54Many letters.
01:03:55Oh.
01:03:57Twenty.
01:03:58Twenty?
01:03:58Oh, that was worth waiting for.
01:03:59What?
01:04:03Oh.
01:04:07Oh, that was a pleasure.
01:04:12Oh.
01:04:13Oh.
01:04:19Oh.
01:04:27Oh, that was a wonderful place.
01:04:37It is up the lake and across, about 35 kilometers.
01:04:42I'll make it.
01:04:42At the frontier, there will be sentries.
01:04:44I know.
01:04:45And you will have to watch out for the patrol boats.
01:04:47I will.
01:04:47If it blows too hard, you will...
01:04:49I won't drown.
01:04:53Have you enough money?
01:04:54Here.
01:04:57Won't you need it?
01:04:59There must be a Villa Rosa at Porto de None.
01:05:01There must be a Villa Rosa at Porto de None.
01:05:02Always the same girls until they become like old friends.
01:05:05Like war comrades.
01:05:06Take it, baby. Please, please.
01:05:08You're a good egg, Renin.
01:05:10No.
01:05:11I am not a good egg.
01:05:13I am a fool.
01:05:15But...
01:05:16if I had understood how you felt about her...
01:05:19Good luck, baby.
01:05:44It doesn't work.
01:05:46Shall I get a new cylinder, Doctor?
01:05:48It is a new cylinder.
01:05:51Oh, I wanted so to have this baby and not make any trouble.
01:05:54And now I am all done.
01:05:59All gone to pieces.
01:06:02Hmm.
01:06:03Hmm.
01:06:06Hmm.
01:06:22She is losing strength fast, Doctor.
01:06:25There's no use.
01:06:26I'll have to operate.
01:06:30Hmm.
01:06:30That was lovely.
01:06:34Frederick.
01:06:36Darling.
01:06:38Hmm.
01:06:42You must be worried, Alec.
01:06:45I'm not going to die now.
01:06:49I got past the place where I was going to die.
01:06:56I'm too glad.
01:06:58Of course you're not going to die.
01:07:00You mustn't think about it.
01:07:22It's a cesarean.
01:07:23Oh, we're lucky to be on time.
01:07:25Come on.
01:07:25Come on.
01:07:25Come on.
01:07:27Come on.
01:07:27Come on.
01:07:28Come on.
01:07:28Come on.
01:07:30Come on.
01:07:30Come on.
01:07:40Come on.
01:07:41Come on.
01:07:44Is she going to be all right?
01:07:46Are you the husband?
01:07:47Yes.
01:07:47She kept calling for you all night.
01:07:49It would have been better if you'd been here.
01:07:50I'm sorry.
01:07:51Is she in danger?
01:07:53Oh, she's very weak.
01:07:54You don't suppose I could see her now?
01:07:56Later.
01:07:56Later.
01:07:57It won't be long.
01:08:37She can't die.
01:08:39Shh.
01:08:41Did you call?
01:08:46No.
01:08:48I didn't say anything.
01:09:10Not yet.
01:09:14Is she all right?
01:09:15I hope so.
01:09:16The baby.
01:09:17The boy.
01:09:18But he was dead before she ever came in here.
01:09:20Oh.
01:09:21But she'll be all right.
01:09:22That's not in my hands any longer.
01:09:27Better go across the street and get yourself some breakfast.
01:09:31Well, I guess if you need it.
01:09:32It will be some time before she can see you.
01:10:02You've had children.
01:10:03What was it like?
01:10:05I beg your pardon.
01:10:06What did you say?
01:10:09Nothing.
01:10:10Some coffee, please.
01:10:12And a brioche.
01:10:23It's in the papers.
01:10:25Italy has won.
01:10:26Well, thank God it's over.
01:10:28This is the beginning of the end.
01:10:30But it'll be a long time before they can rebuild what's been destroyed.
01:10:35In the early morning hours of November 4th,
01:10:38the Austro-Hungarian Supreme Command, accepted by radiogram,
01:10:43the armistice conditions laid down to the ground.
01:10:45by General Fidolio.
01:10:48Don't let her die.
01:10:51Oh, God.
01:10:53Please don't let her die.
01:10:55I'd do anything for you if you don't let her die.
01:10:59I took the baby.
01:11:01That was all right.
01:11:03But don't let her die.
01:11:05Please.
01:11:06Please.
01:11:06Please.
01:11:08Dear God.
01:11:09Don't let her die.
01:11:37Your husband's out there.
01:11:40Might as well let him in.
01:11:46I knew he was coming.
01:11:49When I went under, I knew he was here.
01:11:56You won't tell him, will you?
01:11:59Tell him what?
01:12:01That I'm going to die.
01:12:06No.
01:12:07You won't tell him.
01:12:12Doctor.
01:12:15Have I wrong?
01:12:25Don't you see?
01:12:27I have to know.
01:12:29Not long.
01:12:37Let him come in.
01:12:40No, wait.
01:12:43Could I...
01:12:45Could I have my bag first?
01:12:47Could I have my bag first?
01:12:57Oh.
01:12:59Such a mess.
01:13:05He never liked me to be pale.
01:13:18You can go in now.
01:13:34Catherine.
01:13:36Darling.
01:13:44You're all right?
01:13:45I'm fine.
01:13:47Did you worry about me?
01:13:50I came as soon as...
01:13:52I found where you were.
01:13:54Poor darling.
01:13:55Let me look at you.
01:13:58Here.
01:14:00You're wet and tired.
01:14:03Sit down, darling.
01:14:05Here.
01:14:13You're going to be all right, Catherine.
01:14:22You want me to do anything, Catherine?
01:14:25Can I get you anything?
01:14:27Hmm.
01:14:29Just talk to me.
01:14:31Tell me you haven't stopped loving me.
01:14:34You know, I couldn't stop loving me.
01:14:37I like to hear you say it, Pooh.
01:14:40I'll never stop loving you.
01:14:42Never?
01:14:44Not even...
01:14:46if I died?
01:14:48Never.
01:14:50I want you to have other tools for me.
01:14:53I don't want things.
01:14:56That's right, Dad.
01:15:04Try...
01:15:05Try to sleep, Catherine.
01:15:12When I get Will...
01:15:15We'll...
01:15:16We'll take a little house in the mountains.
01:15:19We always planned the house of our own, remember?
01:15:23I'll get you a fine house.
01:15:26And we'll live in it until the war's over.
01:15:31And then you'll go back to America and be a splendid architect.
01:15:36We'll be married all over again.
01:15:38In a church.
01:15:40In a church.
01:15:45Oh, darling.
01:15:47I'm going to die.
01:15:49Don't let me die.
01:15:50Yes.
01:15:52Take me in your arms.
01:15:54Hold me tight.
01:15:55Don't let me go.
01:15:58It's dark out there and lonely.
01:16:00I don't want to leave you anymore.
01:16:02I've been alone so much.
01:16:06You... you can't die.
01:16:08You're too brave to die.
01:16:15You're a fine girl.
01:16:17A brave girl.
01:16:19Yes.
01:16:21I...
01:16:22am a brave girl.
01:16:23Whatever happens, you'll not be afraid.
01:16:26I'll not be afraid.
01:16:29We've never been apart.
01:16:30Really.
01:16:31Not since we met.
01:16:34Not since we met.
01:16:35And never can be.
01:16:38Never parted.
01:16:39In life and in death.
01:16:42Say it, Kath.
01:16:44In life.
01:16:45And in death.
01:16:47We'll never be parted.
01:16:50You do believe that.
01:16:52Don't you, Kath?
01:16:55I believe it.
01:16:59And I'm not afraid.
01:17:16But...
01:17:35if you don't have to.
01:17:35What a victory...
01:17:35... I think I was given a love.
01:17:37And I am not afraid to die.
01:17:37Which is right?
01:17:37It's not right.
01:17:38That's how would you have to do it?
01:17:39I'm not afraid to die.
01:17:39Oh, I do not fall asleep.
01:17:41I'm not afraid to die today.
01:17:41I'm not afraid to die.
01:17:48Peace.
01:17:52Peace.
01:17:54Peace.
01:18:12Peace.
