Hollywood legend Gary Cooper in two of his of his most popular films! In the highly acclaimed A Farwell to Arms (1932, B&W, 78 min.), Ernest Hemingway’s masterpiece of tragic wartime romance comes to vivid life. A daring American ambulance driver (Gary Cooper) falls in love with a British nurse (Helen Hayes) on the Italian frontlines of WWI. The chaos of the battlefield conspires to push the ill-fated lovers together and then wrench them apart in what becomes an ultimate test of love and one of the most moving endings in cinematic history. Nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Picture! Meet John Doe (1941, B&W, 123 min), Frank Capra’s classic ode to the common man, stars Gary Cooper as a down-and-out former baseball player caught up in a newspaper publicity stunt. Barbara Stanwyck plays the newspaperwoman who first exploits him, and with whom Cooper predictably falls in love.
