Scott Fitzgerald: Winter Dreams see more Editorial Review: Description: More than 40 years after his death, Hemingway is one of the most widely read, and widely written about, American authors. His distinct style and profound influence are indisputable; his larger-than-life persona is still the stuff of heated debate. As well known in his lifetime as any movie star, Hemingway was a dashing international figure who challenged the notion that writers exist in an ivory tower. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Not for High School Students If you want your high school students to watch a biography of Ernest Hemingway, do not choose this one. It will put them to sleep. I showed it to my freshman and quickly realized the error of my ways. I have never seen the students so disinterested. This biography is for viewers who already have a basic knowledge of Hemingway's life and the times in which he lived. Most of the allusions to other writers and books went over their heads.

Hotchner, much maligned friend and author of Papa Hemingway, always has new and insightful things to say. Daughter in law and sometime secretary Valerie Hemingway has genuine insight into EH's aesthetic affinity for bull-fighting.

From the tacky and overwrought music that plays over the entire film to the choice to have a female narrator read the man's great works, this shameless, arsty and bland biography will offend anyone with even a passing interest in the great Ernest Hemingway. Avoid at all costs. Rating: - Hemingway was GREAT.........this documentary was NOT. This documentary was a good introduction to Hemingway's life and writing but left a lot out. I was expecting a more exciting overview of his life than this. I also didn't like the fact that there was a female voice reading from his work.... it almost felt like I was listening to a female author rather than the beloved Papa. I would recommend this DVD only to hardcore Hemingway readers who want everything.
