Review of For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) by Richard O — 08 Mar 2011
Some say the that the movie lingered too long on the relationship between Robert & Maria, but I see this as no different from the book. Although the film comes in close to the 3 hour mark it would have been longer if Woods had captured every nuance of Hemmingways text.
Not a bad film and ready for a remake imo... but I feel the book is more satisfying and closer to the knuckle... go read.
