WASHINGTON, D.C.

It is July 8, and Gellhorn and Hemingway are heading to the White House, where they are to have dinner with the Roosevelts and present a private screening of The Spanish Earth. Gellhorn has a personal friendship with Eleanor Roosevelt, via family connections, and she has long been trying to open the First Lady’s eyes to the Spanish situation.

That evening, after eating a runny, thin soup that Hemingway disdains, everyone watches the film. To the visiting couple’s delight, the president offers insightful comments, suggesting ways to create a stronger antifascist message. But Roosevelt does not change his political position. The United States will remain uninvolved in Spain.
