For Whom the Bell Tolls is a 1943 film in Technicolor based on the famous novel by Ernest Hemingway. It stars Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, Akim Tamiroff and Katina Paxinou. The movie was adapted by Dudley Nichols, and directed by Sam Wood. Great attention to detail in keeping with the accurate depiction and the novel's successful translation to film was aided by Hemingway himself, who was present on the set during filming. During its first release it was widely promoted as being Ingrid Bergman's first color film.

Restoration

The film was originally released in a roadshow format, at 170 minutes, or nearly three hours (not counting intermission). For re-release, it was trimmed down to 134 minutes, and it was not seen at its full length until about ten years ago, when it was archivally restored to very nearly that (168 minutes). This restored version is the one that has been released on DVD.

Awards

The movie won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress (Katina Paxinou) and was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Gary Cooper), Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Akim Tamiroff), Best Actress in a Leading Role (Ingrid Bergman), Best Art Direction-Interior Decoration, Color, Best Cinematography, Color, Best Film Editing, Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture and Best Picture.

Other Versions

There was a Lux Radio Theater version broadcast on February 11, 1945, which retained the principal cast from the film: Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, and Akim Tamiroff.
