Ernest Hemingway Books into Movies

We recently watched Hemingway's Across the River and into the Trees. My wife and I both enjoyed it. The movie was well done and starred Liev Schreiber and Italian actress Matilda De Angelis (who is a now a new favorite). This got me thinking about all the other great Ernest Hemingway books that have been turned into movies as well. 

Here is a list of Ernest Hemingway’s novels and stories that have been adapted into films, along with their release years:

1. A Farewell to Arms

   • 1932: Starring Gary Cooper and Helen Hayes
   • 1957: Starring Rock Hudson and Jennifer Jones

2. For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940 novel)

   • 1943: Starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman

3. The Killers (short story from Men Without Women, 1927)

   • 1946: Film noir adaptation starring Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner
   • 1964: Remake starring Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, and Ronald Reagan

4. To Have and Have Not (1937 novel)

   • 1944: Loosely based on the novel, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall

5. The Old Man and the Sea (1952 novel)

   • 1958: Starring Spencer Tracy
   • 1990: Animated TV movie, narrated by Anthony Quinn

6. Islands in the Stream (1970 novel, posthumously published)

   • 1977: Starring George C. Scott

Each film varies in its fidelity to Hemingway’s works, often reflecting the era’s cinematic style and sensibilities.
