Papa's already famous autobiographical novel of the same name.As Harry (Gregory Peck) lies wounded and delirious in an African campsite at the foot of the snow-covered slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, he recounts the story of his life in a series of flashbacks. Writing, women, and big-game hunting - these are the things that have defined and dominated his existence. In pursuit of all three, he has travelled the globe from the salons of Bohemian Paris to the battlefields of Spain to the plains of Africa. Now, in the shadow of the greatest mountain and his own approaching death from gangrene, he tries to make sense of all his failures.Few Hemingway novels play as well on screen as they do on paper, but under the direction of Henry King, Peck and Susan Hayward who plays Harry's devoted beau, turn in inspired performances but both are eclipsed by Ava Gardner as Cynthia, the love he lost.The romantic, sentimental, qualities are embedded into the fine script are driven home by Bernard Hermann's brilliant score yet US theatre operators actually feared that audiences would stay away from the film because they couldn't pronounce Kilimanjaro, but the film turned out to be one of the biggest hits of 1952.

Advantages: Freebie DVD Disadvantages: A bit dated
My free copy of the The Snows of Killimanjaro came free with a copy of the Times to celebrate the british Film Industries (BFI) 5th London film festival. The film came as a DVD. It features Gregory Peck as the star of the movie and is based around a Safari experience in Africa. This copy lasts approximately 117 minutes with a copyright - dated 2006. It also stars Susan Haywood as the wife of Harry Street (Peck). The film is PG rated by the censors this means it is fit for general viewing but that some scenes maybe unsuitable for young children. The DVD contained some additional features including examples of stuff being presented at the 50th BFI.

Eight Below & Snow Dogs
I bought Snow Dogs on video years ago when it first came out and really enjoyed it so when I saw the 2 piece set of this and the new similar film on DVD I went and bought it from play.com as I already wanted to replace my old copy of Snow Dogs with a DVD so this was the best reason to do so.
