misplaced arrogance
brash american ernest hemingway hits italy determined to do what he wants to do. he shows little regard for others and hardly gives a thought to his and others safety. when the inevitable happens and he's injured he wants to rule the roost in hospital and take his pick of the nurses. despite his failings one does fall for him but arrogance steps in and he blots his copybook. it seems too late to save the day but when she realizes her mistake and returns to the usa to tell him,hemingway maintains his arrogance and consigns their love to the bin.what would his life have been like if he hadn't. the storyline builds up gradually and has you enthralled throughout.

An excellent movie; moving and distressing. What a very silly boy Hemingway was; and boy, did he pay the price.
