A Farewell to Arms TCM, 5:15 p.m.

This first film based on Ernest Hemingway’s tragic (and semiautobi­ographical) novel about a wartime romance was made in 1932, just three years after the novel’s publicatio­n, but is still considered one of the best Hemingway adaptation­s (even if the author didn’t seem to care for it). Stationed in Italy during World War I, American ambulance driver Frederic Henry (Gary Cooper) falls in love with British nurse Catherine Barkley (Helen Hayes), but the horrors of war threaten to destroy their relationsh­ip. The film was made pre-code and therefore has some themes and scenes that have been cut and restored at various times and with various sensibilit­ies. “A Farewell to Arms” is still a compelling view, and it is easy to see why it received four Oscar nomination­s, including best picture, and won two — for sound and cinematogr­aphy.
