Title: Cinematic Adaptation of Hemingway s A Farewell to Arms: The Problem of Ending
Author/Creator: B. Gopal Rao
Publication Details: Indian Journal of American Studies, Vol.25(2), pp.142-146
Annotation: Contends Frank Borzage s 1932 adaptation suffered from a misguided, reductive ending aimed at pleasing the audience. Argues that David Selznick s 1957 adaptation failed to capture the novel s thematic significance and emotional richness because of a poor script and miscasting of the major roles.
