The Last Round
Last of four programmes on the life and works of Ernest Hemingway. With
By the 1950s Hemingway was perhaps the most famous living writer in the world. The lifestyle of the author was front-page news. But celebrity had almost crippled Hemingway's remarkable talent. The image of the man of action living in grand style in Cuba swamped him almost completely. His search for new experiences to fuel himself as a writer acquired almost desperate urgency. This last part examines the disintegration of Hemingway as a man and as a writer. Film editor PAM BOSWORTH
