The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952) The Snows of Kilimanjaro

The Snows of Kilimanjaro ★★★ 1952 Called by Hemingway "The Snows of Zanuck," in reference to the great producer, this film is actually an artful pastiche of several Hemingway short stories and novels. The main story, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," acts as a framing device, in which the life of a successful writer is seen through his fevered flashbacks as he and his rich wife, while on safari, await a doctor to save his gangrenous leg. 117m/C VHS, DVD.

Carroll, Torin Thatcher, Ava Norring, Helene Stanley, Marcel Dalio, Vincente Gomez, Richard Allen, Leonard Carey; Director: Henry King; Writer: Casey Robinson; Writer: Leon Shamroy; Cameo: Bernard Herrmann.
