Grunwald's father, affectionately evoked despite his philandering with actresses, was a well-known Viennese librettist and Henry himself had youthful ambitions to be a playwright.
Grunwald also resembled Luce in putting his career before his family -- one of Grunwald's children complained that he was "not so much raised as edited."

Grunwald had maintained, in the words of a headline which came to haunt him, that America was fighting "The Right War at the Right Time." But by 1969 he admitted that it was an error, though not a "crime or sin." Similarly he turned against Nixon over Watergate.
