A Brooklyn-born killer.

Our Sydney is also Jewish, but

is like family.

Papa, why not go back to my country?

If you counted our history the world would listen.

No living writer

Has done more to support the Spanish people

but my husband has a family here

and a deadline for a novel.

And you?

I think the Spanish Civil War

is a test for the next world war

and I think anyone who can should go.

How the f*** do you think you handle that?

You tried to enter into a war zone?

Also I have resources.

Should go.

Enough of politics, it's late.

Someone has to stand up to write.

Want to join us? We need you.

We need journalists worldwide

that have what really happens in Spain.

Pauline is right.

All we need a new novel by Hemingway.

Addition, we need good men in this front

.

Come to Spain and see for yourself.

I'm leaving tomorrow. I hope you get to go.

People the world is going to Spain.

Writers, poets, artists

, workers

All passionate believers in the cause.

The people of Spain have to know

that help is on the way.

I will sing our song. Okay?

Reads:

live the Fifth Brigade,

ba ba rumba rumba.

I thought what you did to go to war was

as a gesture of solidarity,

and be killed or

hopefully survive until the war ended.

A backpack with fifty dollars,

that was my team for Spain.

Anything else seemed unnecessary.

I needed to get roles ,

so I wrote to a friend in

Collier's magazine

appoint me to war correspondent

despite not writing

never a word about the war .

Beautiful necklace.

His name is Sandor.

Hello Sandor! How nice necklace.

Thanks. Rabbit's Foot

is good luck.

I'm on the front lines,

a fight against Franco and the fascists.

Good for you.

Thanks.

And you?

I am a writer.

With those legs?

In fact I do not use for writing.

Though once met a man

playing the xylophone with

feet. Want a drink?

True. Thank you.

When I looked at the faces of the men

In the International Brigades

inexorably discovered that I loved.

Were ordinary citizens who were there at their own risk,

going to Spain for a cause

Do not impelled the government but passion.

Like most wine Mr. Hemingway?

Thanks.

Feel the air!

Is the land of Spain!

We will meet with our battalion in Madrid

I can go?

No, it's hard for a woman.

I had the feeling that one,

has to work all day and all night

and love as many people as one can

and do it all

because everything happens awfully fast.

Come on baby, we will stand

. We will be a tripod.

're Not listening.

To defeat the fascists must be with propaganda.

Defeat the fascist ?

You mean kill...

They are wrong. We have to convince the peasants

,

give them education.

What scumbags?

Welcome Dad.

Welcome to Spain!

Now we will defeat Franco's bastard!

I still like the Madrid stew?

Lupe Sure, you think that

I returned to Spain?

For you. Thanks

is a great honor.

Mikhail Koltsov and I always say

Ernest Hemingway is the American Tolstoy.

Gentlemen... The toast. Health to all.

What a surprise!

Pauline did not think you loosen the belt.

See for yourself.

This will help to get some sh*t

, of...

Pope, what you do with Franco?

I'm here with director Joris Evans

and my good friend John Dos Passos.

Let's make a movie.

We'll show the world

the noble struggle defenders

elected government of Spain.

What was that?

Seems to be a tank.

Is Russian, a Russian...

There a doctor here?

Is a woman?

She got it.

I know very well.

Look who's here

Hello Hemingway.

You know how to make an entrance.

Why, are you jealous?

Everyone is a pumpkin Cinderella.

Cinderella needs a drink.

Hey guys. Hi Paco.

I told you would come.

I love being here.

I'm happy to have arrived.

Activity? Yes, please.

Hey friend, okay. Let go.

You a hard Hungarian friend.

Where's the front?

It's supposed to be here

A dozen blocks from here, just follow

streetcar rails.

University's happening,

can not miss.

'm Martha Gellhorn.

Who?

Martha Gellhorn.

From Collier's Magazine

You have some role in Collier?

I have.

War Correspondent?

Just a name.

I needed.

Not near Sloppy Joe's.

Put your claws kitten,

As it would be here.

Okay, sign here.

Room 428.

You are on the safe side of the building.

Capa Hey, look what we have here!

A real war correspondent.

Another one?

It's filling the bar, do not you think?

Most closest he's been a weapon

is next to a soldier in a urinal.

Not. I present to Martha Gellhorn,

Martha my Hungarian friend Robert Capa.

Layer? Nice to meet you.

I know your pictures.

Do you want another drink?

I need a shower.

Sydney bathroom.

Seriously, I can open the tap alone.

No hot water. Be heated.

Precise sleep.

I'm on the same floor.

Look at that!

Your legs start at the shoulders...

's All yours.

Hemingway!

Hemingway opens the door!

Me out of here!

Hemingway!

How dare you, motherf***er?

Sorry sweetness

Why the hell shut me up here?

In case you have not noticed

, Gellhorn,

Blonde're the only place

and this is a city of desperate men

.

Some know they will die,

That frees the beast.

And I have to tell you that one of

bastards

can do in the dark at

a beautiful white woman like you.

Hemingway got it.

There is a war here, do not trust anyone.

How do I know if I can trust you?

The best way to know if you can trust someone

,

is relying.

You were right, this is the best view.

Cmara here.

Look are coming

Marseillaise The French battalion.

This is the Canadian battalion.

And Abraham Lincoln Brigade

We're filming right?

Yes

Walking, go down.

Coming?

Yes

The four men americada beauty

So many rides?, Monta both.

Brooklyn, Brooklyn!

Gellhorn, come on.

Wait for me, wait for me.

Hey Dad, wait! Pope!

Live Spain. Long live the republic.

Right there, to get to them.

Look, are spending your movie.

Not my movie.

Do not you like it?

I do not know. I never saw her.

Production was a sh*t.

I agree.

It was a mistake elect

Helen Hayes as Catherine Barkley.

- Oh yeah?

- Yes

Everyone is a critic.

Look there. Enfocala. Two Oye Come here.

Joris, come on. A photo.

It's so good to be doing this,

is a wonderful movie.

Irrigation? What happens with irrigation

?

Nothing, if you like watching guys doing

ditches.

We do our work that people want to see.

Please. This is a damn movie

hose.

This is why there is a bloody war Hem

,

a year ago these people shoot

for being in this cursed land.

Daba pride see joy and determination

the Spanish people.

Seeing them know that our cause was just,

could not lose.

To control this country

Franco

have had to deal with two million brave souls.

It tastes like freedom.

Two, maybe that's the worst line you've invented

.

And that's saying something.

Maybe, but it's true.

Now these people can irrigate their land...

And grow food for the defenders of the motherland.

You are an idealist, not much to irrigate

when fascists have their boot on your neck.

How are our producers today?
