Favorite Movie Ernest Hemingway's book, "A Farewell To Arms" was made for movie theaters and stirred my emotions in the year 'fifty-eight. It was a big hit then. Since I was with child, Catherine awakened such deep maternal feelings inside me. I felt how she felt. Sad times ahead. Baby born dead; mother passes. So traumatic. Broken hearts; sober scenes full of grief. My eyes, full of tears. Sandra M. Haight

Thank you, White Sage. The movie was more about the Italian army in World War I, but I only dwelled on this really sad part of the tragic romance. Thank you for your uplifting comment! Sandra
