The Capture -- A badly injured fugitive explains to a priest how he came to be in his present predicament.

The Capture -- Lin Vanner (Ayres) captures and turns in a fellow oil company employee whom he believes was behind a payroll robbery. The accused man dies in police custody, and Lin feels overwhelmingly responsible for the man's death, wondering if he was actually innocent of the crime. His guilt causes Lin to lose his job and his fiancee, and to soothe his conscience, Lin seeks out the dead man's widow, Evelyn (Wright). The two fall in love and marry without Evelyn ever knowing about Lin's past and feelings of guilt. When Lin discovers who really commited the robbery, he goes after the man, who dies accidentally in the ensuing chase. Lin is now accused of murdering the man, and must become a fugitive on the run. This is the lost masterpiece of director John Sturges.

Based on the best-selling controversial novel by Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls graces the screen with legendary stars Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman. The story follows expatriate American demolition expert Robert Jordan (Cooper) who aides anti-fascist freedom fighters of Spain. Assisting him is a band of warriors including the strong-willed Pilar (Katina Paxinou in an Oscar®-winning performance), the dangerously undependable Pablo (Akim Tamiroff) and the lovely, innocent Maria (Bergman). As danger mounts, Robert and Maria develop a closeness that blossoms into one of the screen's greatest love stories. Epic in scope yet intimate in feeling, For Whom the Bell Tolls remains a shining example of Hollywood moviemaking at its finest.
