In Love and War (1996) is a romance drama film based on the book Hemingway in Love and War by Henry S. Villard and James Nagel and starring Mackenzie Astin, Chris O'Donnell, Sandra Bullock, and Margot Steinberg. This film takes place during World War I, and is based on the WWI experiences of the writer Ernest Hemingway. It was directed by Richard Attenborough and written by Villard, Nagel, Allan Scott, Dimitri Villard, Clancy Sigal, and Anna Hamilton Phelan.
This movie is largely based on Ernest Hemingway's real experience in World War I as a young soldier in Italy. He was wounded and sent to military hospital where he was nursed by Agnes von Kurowsky. They fell in love but somehow the relationship didn't work out. And the unhappy ending forever changed both of their lives.
Hemingway later wrote several books about this relationship, including A Farewell to Arms.
In Love and War is a 1958 film based on a novel by Anton Myrer and directed by Philip Dunne.
Three Marines take shore leave in San Francisco during World War II. Frankie O'Neill (Robert Wagner) visits his lower-class dysfunctional family; Nico Kantaylis (Jeffrey Hunter) visits his pregnant fiancée; and the upper-class Alan Newcombe (Bradford Dillman) visits his high-living playgirl girlfriend. Each must decide whether to make the best of his situation or break out of it. O'Neill drowns his troubles in alcohol, losing the respect of a potential lover; Kantaylis marries his fiancée, but realizes he may not survive the war to see his child; while Newcombe sheds his decadent girlfriend for a pure-hearted Hawaiian nurse. Later, in battle, a heroic act costs one of the Marines his life. Written by Anonymous
