In Love and War
1996
**
Director: Richard Attenborough
Cast: Chris O'Donnell, Sandra Bullock, Mackenzie Astin, Emilio Bonucci

Sir Richard Attenborough continues to make films based on real-life people, this time about the young Ernest Hemingway who falls in love with an American nurse during the First World War. However, this lame romantic anecdote of history could be about anyone. The character shows no literary aspirations and Chris O'Donnell has none of the wit one would associate with Hemingway. Based on the book Hemingway in Love and War by Henry S. Villard and James Nagel.
