The Ernest Hemingway Film Collection

20th Century-Fox Home Video has released a new DVD set called “The Ernest Hemingway Film Collection.” The set consists of five excellent feature films based on the works on Hemingway: “The Sun Also Rises” (1957), “Hemingway’s Adventures of a Young Man” (1962), “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” (1952), “Under My Skin” (1950), and “A Farewell to Arms” (1957). The American Film Institute’s Patricia King Hanson and I provided DVD commentary on the first three films and the great film historian Anthony Slide did the honors for “Under My Skin.” All four of those discs also offer making-of featurettes, trailers, still galleries and much more. Oddly, “A Farewell to Arms” has no extra features at all, although the beautiful letterboxed transfer makes it worth getting all on its own. This is a terrific set of films and I’m proud to have been even a tiny part of the endeavor. Go to my “Video” section for a little more information about the discs I worked on and to see the cover art.
