For Whom the Bell Tolls -- Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman star in this drama, based on Ernest Hemingway's novel, about an expatriate American demolition expert who fights in the Spanish civil war and falls in love.

Wrought with emotional drama and self-destructive behavior is the story of Nicole Diver, a wealthy but disturbed woman of the 1920s who marries her psychiatrist. They live together at her Riviera estate, where the doctor's analytical skills grow weaker as time passes. As Nicole grows stronger, the doctor becomes totally dependent upon her emotionally and financially. Equally self-destructive are the film's supporting characters: an alcoholic composer and Nicole's greedy sister Baby Warren.

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.

The camp classic drama that catapolted De Carlo into stardom.

She ends up in a lawless western town in Arizona, where she uses her charms and dancing skills to transform herself into 'Salome' during her dance routines. She makes such an impact on the town, eventually taming it, that they re-name the town 'Salome, Where She Danced.' Later on, she moves to San Francisco, where she meets a wealthy Russian man, seduces him, and has him build her her own opera house to perform in. Anna Marie spends her life manipulating one man after another to get what she wants, and they fall fall for her.
