	Ernest Hemingway - MSN Encarta
		Hemingway drew heavily on his experiences as an avid fisherman, hunter, and bullfighting enthusiast in much of his writing.
		Hemingway's second important novel, A Farewell to Arms (1929), is the story of a love affair in wartime Italy between an American officer in the Italian ambulance service and a British nurse.
		Hemingway's economical writing style often seems simple and almost childlike, but his method is calculated and used to complex effect.

	Author Profile: Ernest Hemingway
		A prodigious reader and a diligent writer, Ernest Hemingway would have felt comfortable eschewing one night of carousing to lock himself away to pore over words and sculpt sentences, and he was always ready to discuss the art of writing and the craft of rewriting.
		Hemingway's themes of war and outdoor sports such as hunting and indoor sports such as drinking seem to appeal to men more than women.
		In the years Hemingway wrote, and even today, a boy coming of age is met on all sides with issues of courage, whether it's the courage to stand up for himself and his beliefs or the physical courage required to push himself to the limits of pain and endurance in competition.

	Hemingway
		Hemingway had written at least two drafts of his story before he began to call the character "Anderson," and these drafts are very different in form from the finished product.
		In a way, Hemingway was sort of like a pup, lively and charming; and, if in those early Chicago days he had seemed a devoted follower, the speed with which he took to new masters after Anderson sent him off to Paris undoubtedly rankled in the heart of the former master.
		For Hemingway it was a tale of youth and age, precipitated by an offense committed by the older man, and the outcome was imminent death for the old ax-champion, terrifying adult knowledge for the young man who prepares to take his place.

		However, we must not forget that Grace Hemingway was a good mother in the traditional sense, showering her son with warmth and affection early on in his life.

	CNN - A Hemingway Retrospective - Hemingway and Hollywood
		The most famous adaptation of a Hemingway novel is "To Have and Have Not," produced by Warner Brothers in 1944 with Humphrey Bogart and the 18-year-old Lauren Bacall in her first film.
		Hemingway's only visit to Hollywood was in 1937, when he gave a speech to collect money in support of the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War.
		Hemingway once summed up his attitude toward the film industry, in spite of all the money he made, by suggesting that the best way for a writer to deal with Hollywood was to meet the producers at the California state line: "You throw them your book, they throw you the money.

	Ernest Hemingway's The Killers (1946) \| The A.V. Club
		So ends the tenuous connection between Ernest Hemingway's short story "The Killers" and both of its feature-length adaptations, which used the Hemingway name to sell tickets, but diverged radically from their source and from each other.
		Lifted note-for-note from the Hemingway story, the classic opening scene of Siodmak's film sings with the high tension, sharp dialogue, and grim humor that's conspicuously absent from the rest of Anthony Veiller's mediocre screenplay.
		Better still are a series of correspondences for the 1964 version, including hilarious script notes from the NBC censors, a reassuring letter from Siegel to Dickinson apologizing for the vicious reviews, and a brilliant essay from Siegel to the studio brass that picks apart the original with stunning precision.

		The Killers (1946), a neglected screen classic from director Robert Siodmak, is an intense, hard-edged, stylish film noir of robbery, unrequited love, brutal betrayal and double-cross.

		The pair are unsmiling, contract killers Max (William Conrad later famous for the TV detective show Cannon) and Al (Charles McGraw), sent to the small rural town to track down a Tri-State Oil Co. attendant.

		Hemingway tapped into the national consciousness to create his laconic gangsters and vulnerable tough guys; Bogart gave these American archetypes enduring life on the screen.

		However, Hemingway thought well enough of the play to have it published with his collected short stories, and this is the Hemingway who draws the fire of critics like Dwight Macdonald.
		It is not simply physical action but the action of the physical world upon the individual that is important in Hemingway's work and in his thought, too, for it is also inadequate to think of "philosophy" as something quite so detached from the ordinary business of living and surviving.
		It is also surely part of Hemingway's philosophy, to use a word he probably wouldn't use, that an appreciation and celebration of the physical, sensual experience of life, which unites writers, philosophers, fisherman, bullfighters, and critics, are not to be despised by the ivory tower philosopher.

	The Killers Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Maybe Hemingway, whose fascination with nada and nothingness pre-dated the existentialists, appreciated the atmosphere of the 1946 version of The Killers, which is regarded as a prime example of American film noir.
		In the Siegel version, which is even further removed from the Hemingway story, the hit men find their victim, a former race-car driver (John Cassavetes), teaching at a school for the blind.
		Fans of Hemingway and/or film noir will be especially delighted with a complete Russian version (not dubbed or subtitled) of The Killers that's included here — a 20-minute short co-directed by Andrei Tarkovsky when he was still in a Soviet Union film school.

		This week the Criterion Collection has released a two-disc edition of "The Killers" ($39.95, not rated) that is one of the most ingenious DVD packages in the short history of the medium.
		Siegel's version, titled "Ernest Hemingway's The Killers," departs most clearly from the Siodmak film in that the hit men -- in this case, Marvin and Clu Gulager -- become the principal protagonists, but in this way it is truer to the title.
		For it is the killers who try to discover why the man they were hired to kill -- a former race-car driver named Johnny North (played by John Cassavetes) -- didn't resist them or try to escape when they arrived at the school for the blind where he worked.

		It was an A-picture (destined for the top of a double bill in the movie theaters of the time), but it was made on a limited budget, by one of the lesser studios (Universal), and without pre-established stars.
		The Killers could be thought of as being part way between a traditional thriller, and that particular subgenre known as film noir.
		Noirsare known for their urban settings, their nighttime cinematography with heavy use of shadows, their general air of dread, conspiracy, and paranoia, and their emphasis on male loner characters and on female characters who are femme fatales, sexy, amoral, and leading the men to ruin.

		It is in completion an atmospheric and suggestive prologue in which a bulk of themes is introduced and left unresolved (in the author’s typical fashion).

	Ernest Hemingway's The Killers: Double-Disc - Special Edition: The Criterion Collection # 176 DVD Review
		This new DVD release from Home Vision Entertainment is without a doubt the definitive home video edition of the dramatizations of “Ernest Hemingway’s The Killers.” Both feature film versions as well as the radio drama and the Andrei Tartovsky 1958 student film adaptation are included in this two-disc set packed with extras.
		The 1956 student film version of “The Killers” is also presented in a frayed (1.33:1) aspect ratio with Russian Monaural Sound and optional English Language Subtitles and is presented with the permission of the All-Russian State Institute Of Cinematography (VGIK).
		It is very interesting to compare and contrast how both feature adaptations effectively dramatize the Ernest Hemingway’s short story through two very different styles and then notice how much of the contemporary crime drama and caper films from the 1990s have without a doubt been directly or indirectly inspired by these films.
