The Hemingway Play (1976 TV Movie)
10/10
A Most Memorable Experience
6 April 2015
I saw "The Hemingway Play" when it first broadcast on TV nearly 30 years ago. The fantasy meeting of five different Ernest Hemingways at five different stages of his life, arguing, discussing, debating their personal views of life and love. The performance was both true to the author's evolving ethos and full of tender insights into his life and life in general. A breathtaking tour de force in assembling the text and fulfilling the character(s).

I remember it as one of the most powerful plays I'd ever experienced and have sought to find it again for several years. It's too good to be forgotten; it is, literally, unforgettable! If there's a VHS or DVD of the TV broadcast out there, I want to find it!
