Hemingway's poignant tale of a love found too late.

 Set in Venice at the close of World War II, Across the River and into the Trees is the bittersweet story of a middle-aged American colonel, scarred by war and in failing health, who finds love with a young Italian countess at the very moment when his life is becoming a physical hardship to him. It is a love so overpowering and spontaneous that it revitalizes the man's spirit and encourages him to dream of a future, even though he knows that there can be no hope for long. Spanning a matter of hours, Across the River and into the Trees is tender and moving, yet tragic in the inexorable shadow of what must come.

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer in the twentieth century, and for his efforts he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. Hemingway wrote in short, declarative sentences and was known for his tough, terse prose. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Ernest Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. As part of the expatriate community in 1920s Paris, the former journalist and World War I ambulance driver began a career that lead to international fame. Hemingway was an aficionado of bull-fighting and big-game hunting, and his main protagonists were always men and women of courage and conviction, who suffered unseen scars, both physical and emotional. He covered the Spanish Civil War, portraying it in fiction in his brilliant novel For Whom the Bell Tolls , and he subsequently covered World War II. His classic novella The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. He died in 1961.

Boyd Gaines starred on Broadway in 12 Angry Men, Contact ( Tony Award ), She Loves Me ( Tony, Outer Critics Circle & Drama Desk Awards ), The Heidi Chronicles ( Tony Award ), Company and Cabaret . Mr. Gaines' film credits include Second Best, I'm Not Rappaport, The Grass Harp, Fame , and The Sure Thing . Television appearances include Angela's Eyes (Lifetime, Series Regular), Law and Order, A Piece of Cake (BBC, Lead), One Day at a Time (Series Regular).
