- Annotation
- Examines Hollywood s treatment of Africa, beginning with the 1950 production of King Solomon s Mines (based on the popular Allan Quatermain series created by H. Rider Haggard) and ending with a brief commentary on the film version of Isak Dinesen s Out of Africa. Provides an overview of Hemingway s 1933 and 1953 safaris, detailing the author s relationship with professional hunter Philip Percival. Includes discussion of The Macomber Affair (1947) and The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952), noting Hemingway s involvement and difficulties with both productions. Contends that unlike the boyish adventure and exotic romance of Haggard s works, Hemingway s African stories reveal more about the author s need to test himself and less about Africa.
