For Sale: The Snows of Kilimanjaro script. Story by Ernest Hemingway. Screenplay by Casey Robinson.

Description

The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952), produced by 20th Century Fox, is a drama film based on Ernest Hemingway’s short story of the same name.

Directed by Henry King, it stars Gregory Peck as Harry Street, Ava Gardner as his estranged love Cynthia, and Susan Hayward as his loyal wife Helen. The film weaves flashbacks with present-day scenes, following a wounded writer reflecting on his life and loves while stranded in Africa.

While Hemingway’s original story is introspective and somber, the film expands on the narrative, adding romantic subplots and a more optimistic tone. It was praised for its performances, lush cinematography, and evocative setting, though some critics noted it deviated significantly from Hemingway’s work.
