Hemingway's novel, A Farewell to Arms, tells a similar story of a wounded soldier who falls in love with the nurse who cares for him, and then returns to the war.

Yet all have been attempted into movies that have failed to do justice to the literary works that inspired them. (Jakarta Post, Indonesia -- Features)
