A Farewell to Arms is a 1932 American pre-Code melodrama film[3] directed by Frank Borzage and starring Helen Hayes, Gary Cooper and Adolphe Menjou.[4] Based on the 1929 semi-autobiographical novel A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, with a screenplay by Oliver H. P. Garrett and Benjamin Glazer, the film is about a tragic romantic love affair between an American ambulance driver and an English nurse in Italy during World War I. The film received Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Sound and was nominated for Best Picture and Best Art Direction.[4]
In 1960, the film entered the public domain in the United States because the last claimant, David O. Selznick, did not renew its copyright registration in the 28th year after publication.[5] However, the novel upon which the book is based remains under copyright until 2025, thus restricting public-domain distribution of the film until then.
The original Broadway play starred Glenn Anders and Elissa Landi and was staged at the National Theatre from September 22, 1930, to October 1930.[6][7]

- ^ Unlike most pre-1950 Paramount sound features, A Farewell to Arms was not sold to what is now known as Universal Television. Warner Bros. acquired the rights at an unknown date with the intention to remake the film, but never did. However, Warner Brothers DID re-release the movie in the later forties. WB replaced the original Paramount openings and closings with its circa 1948 logo and completely re-filmed the opening credits and end title. The film would end-up in the package of films sold to Associated Artists Productions in 1956, that company would be sold to United Artists two years later.
