Date Sold 10/15/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1940 Re-Release Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) A Farewell to Arms, the 1932 Frank Borzage World War I (WWI) military romantic melodrama ("Here is Ernest Hemingway's greatest Novel!"; "Unforgettable story of an undaunted love"; "A great book! A greater picture!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway; about an American ambulance driver and an English nurse falling in love in France during World War I) starring Helen Hayes, Gary Cooper, Adolphe Menjou, Jack La Rue, and Mary Philips. Note that in 1951, Warner Bros. updated the story to World War II, and did not pay for the rights, so the movie was called "A Force of Arms". In 1957, it was remade under the original title with Rock Hudson and Jennifer Jones. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that it WAS printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So it is an original still from the 1940 re-release, but it was printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. Also, while the still code points to A Farewell to Arms, there is a chance that this still was created to promote a 1940 movie by showing Cooper's past roles. Condition: very good.
