Old Man And The Sea

"Sets A New High For Hollywood!" -Arthur Knight, Saturday Review

Ernest Hemingway´s choice for the lead in the film version of his The Old Man and the Sea was the right one: Spencer Tracy´s performance brought him the sixth of his nine Academy Award nominations and the film won the National Board of Review´s 1958 Best Picture and Best Actor awards.

Alone in a small skiff, an aging Cuban fisherman catches a huge marlin - and must defy the sea, marauding sharks and his own flagging strength to bring his great catch home. Filmed in part on sun-drenched Cuban locales and graced by Dimitri Tiomkin´s Oscar-winning score, The Old Man and the Sea is a colorful cinematic ode to the indomitability of the human spirit.
