Summary: No depictions of violence or harm to animals.
I agree that there are problems with this adaptation, most having to do with Jennifer Jones’s mouth. But I am slightly surprised by the pervasively poor critical reviews, considering the good performances by Vittorio De Sica and Rock Hudson and some truly compelling scenes such as the deathly evacuation march. The film also shows an interesting compatibility between Hemingway and 1950s American culture with a remarkable amount of inappropriate drinking by surgeons, patients, pregnants, and clergy. There was no farewell to cognac.
