This spring Martha Gellhorn is enjoying a resurgence. Nicole Kidman did a fantastic job portraying her in HBO's "Hemingway & Gellhorn." Now the play, "Love Saves the Day," which Gellhorn co-wrote with Virginia Cowles, opens tonight (June 18).
Gellhorn (1908-1998) should never have gone away, prompting a resurgence. She is that important, yet it's not surprising most people don't know who she was. Yes, she was Hemingway's third wife, and hated being defined as such. Gellhorn was a fearless war correspondent, novelist and activist/journalist.
She had stowed away on a French hospital ship so she could be at the Normandy invasion. She scooped most, including her famous ex-husband. Gellhorn was brilliant and compassionate; I won't bother trying to hide my respect and admiration.
So I went into the Mint Theater rooting for this, and the reliably interesting theater company, housed just off Broadway, upstairs in an old building, does not disappoint.

And Johnny's nothing, if not a man of his word.
