Amazon.com essential video:
Several pieces of Hemingway fiction fold together for this pastiche movie, in which a writer (Gregory Peck) lies on the slope of Africa's famous mountain and thinks back on his life while awaiting medical attention. 'Africa' in this case is a back-screen projection; fortunately, the majority of the film is told through flashbacks set in France, Spain, and other parts of the Dark Continent. Peck's relationships with various women (played by Susan Hayward, Ava Gardner, and Hildegard Knef) are at the center of his recollections, but the overall thesis is a very Hemingway-esque summary of the responsibility of a writer to get at the truth. --Tom Keogh

The first shipment contained The Sun Also Rises and the Snows of Kilimanjaro, and the second shipment included A Farewell to Arms. Amazon charged me shipment costs twice. Why? The statement that came with the first shipment stated that the other item will be shiped at no additional shipping cost. That was a lie. What you going to do about that? ... Read More
Rating:  - top Hemingway adaptation
THE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO was producer Darryl F. Zanuck's prestige production for 1952. Based around several of Ernest Hemingway's stories, it gave Gregory Peck the chance to play one of his most intriguing roles and also showcased Ava Gardner in one of her best performances.
Acclaimed author Harry Street (Gregory Peck) lies severely wounded and dazed on the African plains with his patient wife Helen (Susan Hayward), awaiting a rescue flight. Floating in and out of conciousness, he recalls ... Read More
Rating: - A Classic
A fan of Gregory Peck, will enjoy this movie. Unfortunately the quality of my DVD,made watching this movie to fuzzy to enjoy. Thereby I recommend asking about clarity before purchasing.
