Title: Hemingway s "The Killers" and Heroic Fatalism: From Page to Screen (Thrice)
Author/Creator: Philip Booth
Publication Details: Literature Film Quarterly, Vol.35(1), pp.404-411
Annotation: Film study tracing the theme of heroic fatalism (dignified acceptance of one s destiny) found within the three screen adaptations of Hemingway s story. Opens with a brief publication history and a recap of the real-life events that inspired the story before examining each of the three films: Siodmak s 1946 film noir version, Tarkovsky s 1956 black-and-white short, and Siegel s 1964 made-for-television version. Compares the three and briefly analyzes how each diverges from Hemingway s original text.
