From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Farewell to Arms is a 1966 British television adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's 1929 novel A Farewell to Arms that aired on three consecutive weeks (15 February, 22 February – 1 March 1966). The work starred Vanessa Redgrave, George Hamilton, Susan Engel, Ann Rye and Erik Chitty and was directed by Rex Tucker.[1]

Despite receiving critical praise and an enthusiastic response from audiences, all three episodes were later wiped and are believed to be lost.
