Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential video
Several pieces of Hemingway fiction fold together for this pastiche movie, in which a writer (Gregory Peck) lies on the slope of Africa's famous mountain and thinks back on his life while awaiting medical attention. "Africa" in this case is a back-screen projection; fortunately, the majority of the film is told through flashbacks set in France, Spain, and other parts of the Dark Continent. Peck's relationships with various women (played by Susan Hayward, Ava Gardner, and Hildegard Knef) are at the center of his recollections, but the overall thesis is a very Hemingway-esque summary of the responsibility of a writer to get at the truth. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS is the official Fox "Snows of Kilimanjaro" DVD to get! , March 12, 2007
By JayDee "jd" (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Snows of Kilimanjaro (DVD)
For the first time in home video history, Twentieth Century-Fox Home Entertainment has released "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" in a NON-public domain edition. Since the advent of the VCR, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" has been resigned to crappy, public domain videos from just about every cheapy distributor around. FINALLY Twentieth Century-Fox, the original studio behind this classic, has taken it from the public domain and given it a proper home video release on DVD. If you love this fan, you can use all previous DVDs of this film for coasters for your drink as you enjoy this marvel. Completely remastered and restored, "Snows" is nothing less than a technical wonder. For years I thought the only way to watch this film was on washed out, dark and scratchy prints. No more! Twentieth Century-Fox gives us a glowing transfer, superb soundtrack and loads of extras. Included as part of the "Ernest Hemmingway Film Collection", this DVD is also sold separately, which is basis for this review. Do not hesitiate to buy this version, which currently retails for under 20 bucks. It is worth every penny! Good-bye poor quality PD DVDs, hello "Snows of Kilimanjaro" the way it was meant to be seen!

1.0 out of 5 stars Snows of Kilimanjaro, October 23, 2003
By R. Bidwell (Bradenton, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Snows of Kilimanjaro (DVD)
Bought the DVD in assembling a Gregory Peck collection. Version was the one with Ava Gardner on the cover of the pack. The film was complete, but there was annoying technical noise, and quite a bit of fluttering in the picture. I may at some point buy another version of this DVD, but I do not recommend the technical quality of this particular production.

1.0 out of 5 stars A dissatisfied viewer, February 2, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Snows of Kilimanjaro (DVD)
The quality of this DVD is terrible. The sound track is off and does not match up with the visual speaking of the actors. The DVD kept jumping back to the beginning of the movie every few minutes. It was impossible to watch this product.
