Finally, a version that has been beautifully restored, expertly transferred and has the further bonus of English subtitles for those of you, like me, who are hearing impaired. "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" is a short story, considered to be one of Ernest Hemingway's best works, along with "The Sun also Rises" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Producer, Daryl Zanuck, Director Henry King and writer, Casey Robinson, have taken this short story and developed it in to an outstanding two hour epic...one of the best adaptations of Hemingway's works in my opinion. There were a couple of significant parts of the screenplay that varied from the short story...the character, Cynthia, played by Ava Gardner, was added to the movie adaptation; and the ending is different. Hemingway, while accepting his fees and royalties, disagreed with the changes and never watched the film. Gregory peck was the perfect choice for Harry Green, the writer/adventurer, who while on safari in Africa with his wife, Helen (Susan Hayward) injures his leg, and appears to be dying of a gangrenous infection. While laying on a cot, he reflects back over his life and the film story is told in flashback. The flashbacks are mostly about Greens failed and successful romances with Cynthia (Gardner); Helen (Hayward) and Countess Elizabeth (Hildegard Knef). All three actresses deliver fine performances and perfectly complement Peck's performance as Harry Green. If you are a fan of Hemingway and/or Peck, you don't want to miss this gem.

The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories Scribner Classics Ernest Hemingway 9780684862217 Books Reviews

Hemingway and Africa-naturals together he truly loved the country and it came out in his stories-his best work.
Anyone with any kind of literary interest and anyone that ever read anything of Hemingway will truly appreciate this collection. These are the stories that caught your attention in school (when you were allowed to read classics like these), made sense to you in young adulthood, and make you think and grin in maturity. Not a slacker in the bunch!
I read this with a mind to compare Hemingway with F. Scot Fitzgerald. The authors knew each other, and Hemingway was said to have repaid Fitzgerald's open, generous encouragement with savage insults probably motivated by unrelenting envy. Reading Hemingway's stories give me a little insight into the man and his enormous, oozing, ulcerated ego. A magnificent collection of odious characters presented by a loathsome but talented author.
This movie was one of the crowning achievements of a consummate actor. Peck plays a character who, in large part, mirrors the life of Ernest Hemingway. There is enough symbolism in this story to keep an English professor busy for a lifetime.
It tells the story of a successful writer, Harry Street, who is slowly dying from a festering infection in his leg he sustained while on a safari in Africa.
He reminisces about a life of adventure, true love, success, and most of all regret.
The story is a timeless tale by Hemingway that was masterfully portrayed by Peck and an all star cast of Susan Hayward and Ava Gardner. The movie was well written with the tight direction of Henry King. One just doesn't see movies like this today where acting and story line are paramount.
This film is in the public domain and has selected a poor quality print to present for streaming. The film is dark and colors look bad, and unbelievably, there is a watermark on the screen from some previous release on DVD or VHS. I was able to find a much better looking copy on Youtube.
If you are a fan of Hemingway, you might like this flic from the 1950's but I thought it was one that did not age well. The African scenes were too obviously filled in for background look hippos!, Oh! Impalas racing and jumping! , etc. I half expected to see Johnny Weismuller to come swinging by, too. An elephant hunting scene was supposed to be the star, G. peck, but the hunter in the film clip was clearly not Peck. All cheesy stuff
That aside, Peck was wooden, as usual, Susan Hayward beautiful, but her talents wasted and Ava Gardener, who is usually termed the "most beautiful woman in the movies" looks bewildered. As to the story, it is Hemingway's story of a man in mid-life crisis trying to show off his machismo as the great white hunter and who is brought down by an infected thorne scratch. IMO, Hemingway's books have not stood up well. Neither has this movie.
It would be hard to miss with the trio of stars; three of the most charismatic, beautiful people in Hollywood - filmed in gorgeous Technicolor. However, I found Gregory Peck to be character I didn't quite like. And that's saying a lot about his character. It's a period piece. Any teenager would run from this flick. The second unit photography is laughable today with African scenes out of "Mutual of Omoaha's Wild Kingdom." And unfortunately, the rear-projection screen shots with Peck and Hayward are so phony, they scream at you on a large flat-panel TV. Nevertheless, if one longs for the gods and goddesses of yesteryear, this film will do.
