    • Trivia
      Ernest Hemingway hated this interpretation of his novel, as he felt it was overly romantic. That didn't stop him, however, from becoming lifelong friends with Gary Cooper, whom he met several years later. In fact, it was Hemingway who would insist that Cooper be cast in the lead of the adaptation of his novel For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) 11 years later. However, the two made a point of never discussing this film.
    • Goofs
      A night attack is shown. During World War I there was very little flying at night and the night attacks that did occur were limited to big cities. It was almost impossible for a plane to attack specific targets in a large city, so effectively attacking people on a road in the dark was not possible, and did not happen.
    • Quotes

      Frederic: We've never been apart, really. Not since we met.

      Catherine: Not since we met.

      Frederic: And never can be.

      Catherine: Never apart.

      Frederic: In life and in death. Say it Cat.

      Catherine: In life and in death, we'll never be parted.

      Frederic: You do believe that, don't you, Cat?

      Catherine: I believe it, and I'm not afraid.

    • Crazy credits
      In the original 1932 credits, the credits are punctuated by aerial bomb blasts, and every time there is a blast, a credit disappears to be replaced by the next one.
    • Alternate versions
      SPOILER: Paramount decided, after much disagreement, to keep Hemingway's original ending and fade out after the death of Catherine Barkley. This ending was kept for the European release, but a new ending in which Barkley lives was later added to the U.S. release.
