''Suppose They Gave A War and Nobody Came'' (a.k.a. ''War Games, Old Soldiers Never'') is a 1970 feature film. The plot is a mixture of comic and dramatic elements and concerns the reactions of a number of World War II veterans to the then-contemporary US army of 1969. Directed by Hy Averback and produced by Fred Engel, the film's cast includes Brian Keith, Don Ameche, Tony Curtis, and Pamela Britton. The title is derived from an American anti-war slogan from the hippie subculture during the Vietnam War era, popularized by Charlotte E. Keyes in her 1966 article for ''McCall's'' magazine titled "Suppose They Gave a War and No One Came."〔Allan, Kenneth. (2006).

To improve relations with the locals, he decides to throw a community dance. He gives the assignment to Warrant Officer Nace, sergeants Gambroni and Jones and a captain, Myerson. A bigot named Billy Joe Davis is a big man in town, backed by Harve, a redneck sheriff. Harve considers a pretty barfly, Ramona, to be his girl, so when he catches her and Gambroni together, he has the sergeant placed under arrest for lewd conduct in public. Nace is drunk and of no help. Jones, who is black, is refused a loan by Kruft, a banker in town, so in anger he decides to spring Gambroni from jail. Billy Joe retaliates by calling in his armed militia, so Nace steals a tank from the base and fights back. Harve takes three of the soldiers as his prisoners. By the time the dust settles, Col. Flanders and his men have arrived in town to save the day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suppose They Gave a War and Nobody Came」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
