Great movie and George C. Scott at his very best. I've read the Hemingway novel of the same name and like the movie adaptation better. Filmed on location in the Bahamas and wonderful scenery and music. This is film making at it's best. ...

A very relaxing movie to watch. Picturesque landscapes, great characters!!!! This movie had some great character actors Hollywood never fully utilized. A great human story of life, love, war and peace, tragedy and death. Oh and the soundtrack is ...

I wish they had stuck closer to the book in the last half, but it was well done and makes you examine the issue of loss and choices. ...

Why this film is almost forgotten is beyond me. Maybe it's because it is so very different. This isn't so much a story as it is a series of vignettes that define and enlighten the reclusive, introverted Thomas Hudson (the semi-autobiographical Hemingway ...
