The Snows of Kilimanjaro

I love Enest Hemingway. I treasure his stories, I think he is perhaps the best author I have read. Certainly my favorite.

This story in particular is a great story. I remember once on a long car drive my wife read this story to me...kind of my own book on tape.

So I was looking forward to the movie. Gregory Peck stars. But the movie perhaps to flesh out the story is told in a backstory format. It does not translate well to the screen.

What makes a short story great does not always flesh out well on the screen. This movie is one that does not.

Another movie I cannot recommend.
