Overview

The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952)

A powerhouse cast – including Gregory Peck, Susan Hayward and Ava Gardner – and exotic settings ranging from the African veldt to 1920s Paris to the bullrings and battlefields of Spain highlight this big-scale production, Ernest Hemingway's short story masterpiece come to glorious life. One of the box-office blockbusters of 1952, The Snows of Kilimanjaro garnered rave reviews as well as two Oscar® nominations. Gregory Peck plays Harry Street, a frustrated author/big game hunter who lies dying in the shadow of Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro, reliving his life, adventures, ambitions, frustrations…and many loves. Wounded both in his leg and in his spirit, Street lapses in and out of consciousness while memories of his love life pass before his eyes: from the spoiled countess who sought to possess him to the one who loved but left him, taking his spark of life with her long before he set foot on Kilimanjaro.
