Suppose They Gave A War and Nobody Came (a.k.a. War Games, Old Soldiers Never) was 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 (1969) contemporary US army.
Directed by Hy Averback and produced by Fred Engel, the film includes Brian Keith, Don Ameche, Tony Curtis, and Pamela Britton in leading roles.
The title is derived from an American anti-war slogan from the hippie subculture during the Vietnam War era (popularized by Charlotte E. Keyes), perhaps most notably used as part of the lyric to the song "Zor and Zam" on The Monkees' 1968 album The Birds, The Bees & the Monkees.[1][2]
