The 1958 film, made six years after publication of the book, is a faithful adaptation - virtually a word-for-word copy of Hemingway's dialogue and prose - that is not without its faults.

Talky, but not surprising, since it is based on Hemingway story of old man (Tracy) musing about catching huge fish.

Tracy reading Hemingway's lines...brings to them a simple dignity and nobility that is hard to match.
