For Whom the Bell Tolls Blu-ray with Slipcover (Kino Lorber)

Based on the best-selling controversial novel by Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls graces the screen with legendary stars Gary Cooper (Beau Geste, High Noon) and Ingrid Bergman (Casablanca, Joan of Arc). The story follows expatriate American demolition expert Robert Jordan (Cooper) who aides anti-fascist freedom fighters of Spain. Assisting him is a band of warriors including the strong-willed Pilar (Katina Paxinou in an Academy Award®-winning performance), the dangerously undependable Pablo (Akim Tamiroff, The General Died at Dawn) and the lovely, innocent Maria (Bergman). As danger mounts, Robert and Maria develop a closeness that blossoms into one of the silver screen’s greatest love stories. Epic in scope yet intimate in feeling, For Whom the Bell Tolls was nominated for 9 Oscars for the wartime year of 1943, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Cooper), Best Actress (Bergman) and Best Supporting Actor (Tamiroff), and remains a shining example of Golden Age Hollywood moviemaking at its finest.
