Five Hour Feature on Two Discs
Of all the memorable characters created by Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning author Ernest Hemingway, none was more complicated, more fascinating or more charismatic than Hemingway himself. Adored by women and the quintessential "man's man," he was husband, father, lover, war correspondent, brawler, adventurer, and sportsman.
Set against the turbulent history of the times, Hemingway reveals his tender and stormy relationships with his four wives, Hadley Richardson (Josephine Chaplin), Pauline Pfeiffer (Marisa Berenson), Martha Gellhorn (Lisa Banes) and Mary Welsh (Pamela Reed), each of whom had significant impact on his work.
Filmed on-location in Paris, Venice, Spain, The Alps, "The Green Hills" of Africa, Sun Valley and Key West in the U.S. and in The Caribbean.
Based on Ernest Hemingway Collected Letters 1917-1961 and Carlos Baker's celebrated biography, Ernest Hemingway: A Life Story. Director was Bernhard Sinkel. Co-Executive Producer was Bodo Scriba.
Hemingway is a co-production of Daniel Wilson Productions and Alcor Philm GmbH. Mr. Wilson, winner of numerous awards including 18 Emmys, was Executive Producer.
