Arms and the Man Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Arms and the Man is the title of a play by George Bernard Shaw. The phrase comes from the opening words of Virgil's Aeneid:

Arma virumque cano

Shaw's sold the rights to adapt the play into a German operetta, certain that it would never be produced. However, it became a phenomenal hit as The Chocolate Soldier, and Shaw vowed never to sell musicalization rights again. (His estate eventually relented, allowing the production of My Fair Lady).
