Suppose They Gave A War and Nobody Came (also known as 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 contemporary US Army.
Directed by Hy Averback and produced by Fred Engel, the film's cast includes Brian Keith, Don Ameche, Tony Curtis, Ernest Borgnine, Suzanne Pleshette, Ivan Dixon 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".
