A classic war/love story. Great character development. Book is better than the movie

Great story and acting with super stars.
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2024 by Walt Wilson
I'm not the biggest Hemingway fan in the world, but when a film has Gary Cooper & Ingrid Bergman in a story by Ernest Hemingway, it was must viewing, for me and my wife. I enjoyed the movie enormously, as did my wife. The relationship that flourishes between Cooper and Bergman had the kind of chemistry that is incredibly special. I will agree that the style exhibited in this movie are significantly different than today's films, however, Gary Cooper's natural acting talent shines through and provides a template for film actors from an upcoming era such as Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, James Dean and Robert Redford. All of these male film actors need only watch "Coop" to see the subtlety he imparts to audiences to get a glimpse of the future from the past. Meanwhile, actress Katina Paxinou nearly steals the show as Pilar. She's Greek, though playing a Spanish woman of intelligence, grit and compassion, who wins an Academy Award for her first American film performance. The strength of her character is so very clear and her ability to provide leadership for the brave local fighters adds a flash alongside that of Ingrid Bergman, playing Maria. Both women are striking in their roles and marks more powerful female voices which largely reflect the new roles women are cutting out for themselves in the landscape of the United States economically and professionally due to the rise of women in the workforce because of World War II. Rosie the Riveter became Rosie the Guerilla Fighter in For Whom the Bell Tolls. Also, Cooper's role as Robert Jordan, the tough, but tender American explosives expert is a stunning role model for coming generations of men, from Senator John McCain, President Barack Obama and even Lech Walesa of Poland. Jordan's antifascist fighter proved irresistible for men from different eras. Senator McCain said he'd found 2 four leaf clovers in his parent's front yard as a 12-year-old and raced to their library to find a suitable book to press them in. By chance For the Whom the Bell Tolls was the book he chose. He opened the book to Chapter 10 and a few tense lines captured young John McCain's imagination, "casting an “immediate spell” on him." “For a long time, Robert Jordan was the man I admired above almost all others in life and fiction. He was brave, dedicated, capable, selfless, possessed in abundance that essence of courage that Hemingway described as grace under pressure, a man who would risk his life but never his honor,” McCain wrote." He wrote further: “He was and remains to my mind a hero for the twentieth century, my century, the century when McCain went to war on ships and claimed our place in the great clashes among rival ideologies, fascism, communism, and self-determination, that made the age as memorable for its violence as for its progress.” President Barack Obama also had an appreciation for the book version of For Whom the Bell Tolls. “… in a July interview for Rolling Stone Magazine, the candidate cited For Whom the Bell Tolls as one of the books that most inspired him.” War novelist Robert Stone commented: “Both [McCain and Obama] in their way are tough guys, and their code is inherent in Robert Jordan," says Stone. "Hemingway kind of created the idea of the anti-fascist hero. You can't have Casablanca and Bogart and all those characters without that Hemingway character. They also derive from Robert Jordan." “Gary Cooper was the perfect image for our campaign to get people to vote. We’d never had free elections in Poland. I am always so touched when people ask me to autograph that image of Gary Cooper from our campaign poster.” LECH WALESA, President of Poland, Nobel Peace Prize The combination of Hemingway's words and Gary Cooper's acting created a synergy that is still thriving today. The movie was somewhat transformative for me and my wife. Having come through a rocky period in our Nation's history and then seeing the clashes between the freedom fighters and the fascists in For Whom the Bell Tolls, provided us both with a cathartic experience. SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT At the end of the film, after Bergman's Maria has been shepherded away from Cooper's Robert Jordan and we see him prepare for what will be his last firefight to make a rear guard action which can only end in his demise, we see and hear Jordan speaking to Maria, figuratively of course. The combination of his talking and his heroic actions, defending his lover and friends with a Lewis machine gun, Cooper finds himself in a position he will repeat years later as Will Kane in High Noon. Alone and outnumbered, he must fight for the right side, his compatriots and the woman he loves, though he'll have to do it all by himself. When the film was released in 1943, it ranked number 2 on the US market for that year in earnings, so even then the film found an audience in the midst of a war that actual Americans were fighting around the globe. Despite that fact, people still came out to watch movies and escape their toils being the "arsenal of democracy" as President Roosevelt had named the USA in 1940, for a few hours. Just a few years prior, Gary Cooper had won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Alvin York in 1941. His work in The Pride of the Yankees, where he played the doomed Lou Gehrig was extremely popular. Cooper was visiting American troops fighting in World War II, the performance they wanted most was for Cooper to replicate Gehrig's speech from the film: "Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth"— was the last thing theater patrons heard after seeing his work acting as Lou Gehrig. So, for Cooper professionally, this was the pinnacle of his acting career, at that time. Overall, the movie proved very satisfying for my wife and me. I bought the movie from Amazon because I know I'll want to see it again, likely within the next month or so. No matter how much attention I'm paying to any movie, multiple viewings always offer me treats I failed to take notice of previously. Heck, I'm still finding little nuggets in films like Jaws. A movie this rich in details will give me plenty of reasons for many viewings. I hope some of you who have read this far will actually see the movie. Thankfully, the Spanish Civil War is not shown in all its horrors, decency had to have some place in films, regardless of how REAL the directors/producers wanted it to be. Having fought in combat myself, I can tell you that seeing a full rendition of actual combat on a movie screen rarely gives the viewer a sense of witnessing the horrors of war. It's an education most sane people will gladly avoid, a smart move. The fight scenes in this film are relatively light compared to modern war epics like Saving Private Ryan or Black Hawk Down. Still, I wouldn't recommend letting young children see this one. Some terrible details of Maria's capture by fascists and her parents were brutally murdered. I hardly think that's appropriate viewing for children. Only you know how mature your kids are far better than I do. Enjoy the film and add the book to your reading lists while we struggle with COVID-19 social distancing, masking and hand washing as though it was an Olympic event.

Always wanted to see this movie and it was great. Going to watch Casablanca and the Maltese Falcon soon. Bogart and Bacall are great together.

Movies today can't capture the true emotions on the screen like the movies made in the 1940s and the 1950s. You may see more computer special effects in movies today, but there's no real emotion coming through the screen. The older movies had a number of true messages for the audience versus the initial thrill in today's movies. There's nothing lasting after the movie is over with today's movies. But the old movies leave you with some memorable lines and moments captured on film.

Pros: Nice scenery Cons: Intermission, really? Actors don't fit the part. Almost as bad as the novel.
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2024 by Newbie DIYer
Most of Hemingway’s major novels have so far been filmized. Of these, “For Whom the Bell Tolls” is the most successful one thanks to superb performances by Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, Katina Pxinou, Akim Tamiroff plus others, great love scenes, beautiful cinematography in technicolor, and dramatic ending. Another reason for the success is Sam Wood’s production focusing on the romantic and thrilling side of the plot by substantially cutting the political elements of the novel. And in particular, what makes this movie one of Hollywood’s greats is the Cooper-Bergman couple. I think people can hardly imagine how sensational the pairing of the two big stars was at the time. This blu-ray may not be amazingly restored compared with the contemporary blockbuster hits, for one thing, “Gone with the Wind.” At least, however, the visual and sound quality is far better than the conventional DVD's and well deserves to repeat viewings. The 2 or 4K restoration would be hopefully expected, though.

Okay, not only has Universal Home Video continued its campaign to release deep catalog titles on bare-bones Blu-rays that do not even offer us basic chapter stops and a main menu, but they are cribbing from elements that are decades old and severely flawed. For Whom the Bell Tolls looks awful. Technicolor misregistration, exceptionally muddy hues, too much film grain looking harshly digitized rather than indigenous to its source, and age-related artifacts are everywhere. I've said this in the past and will say it again - there is no point to releasing ANY movie to hi-def if the proper care isn't going to be taken along the way to remaster it in hi-def. This is just a disgrace. I wouldn't expect this of some fly-by-night bootleg, let alone a 'legitimately authored' Blu from one of Hollywood's legendary studios. Oh right...it's Universal - the company that still hasn't given us properly remastered versions of Field of Dreams, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and, Marnie, to say nothing of the deep catalog releases still MIA from this company. Can we please get Sweet Charity and Tammy and the Bachelor before I die? Also, The Lost Weekend, The Major and the Minor, and a new remaster of Death Becomes Her. Either do these releases right or please, do not do them at all!
