Description

Farewell To Arms:
Based on a novel by Ernest Hemingway about his own real life experience, Farewell To Arms is a tale of the love between ambulance driver Lt. Henry (Gary Cooper) and Nurse Catherine Barkley (Helen Hayes) during World War I. The action takes place in Italy where the two fall in love and will stop at nothing to be together. The fateful ending is one of the most moving in cinematic history.

Meet John Doe:
Barbara Stanwyck plays fired journalist Ann Mitchell, who as a parting shot, prints a fake letter from unemployed 'John Doe' threatening suicide in protest of social ills. The ensuring huge swell of public interest and sales forces the paper to rehire Ann and hires John Willoughby (Gary Cooper) to impersonate "Doe." Ann and her bosses cynically milk the story for all it's worth, until the made-up "John Doe" philosophy starts a whole political movement. At least everyone, even Ann, takes her creation seriously but newspaper publisher D.B. Norton has a secret plan.
