A Farewell to Arms is a 1957 American epic war drama film directed by Charles Vidor. The last film produced by David O. Selznick, it stars Rock Hudson, Jennifer Jones, Vittorio De Sica, and Elaine Stritch. The screenplay by Ben Hecht, based in part on a 1930 play by Laurence Stallings, was the second feature film adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's 1929 semiautobiographical novel of the same name, after the 1932 pre-Code version starring Gary Cooper and Helen Hayes.
