There is hardly a point that Hemingway made in this savage, complex communique about the war between the sexes that Korda and his actors fail to make in movie terms.

One of the more respectable Ernest Hemingway adaptations.

It gradually begins to fall apart in the last third.

If you will kindly overlook the beginning and the end of The Macomber Affair, which Benedict Bogeaus and Casey Robinson delivered to the Globe on Saturday, you will find a quite credible screen telling of a short story by Ernest Hemingway.

The Macomber Affair is a good picture that can be great if the theatre owner bribes the American Express Company not to deliver the last reel.

Audience Reviews for The Macomber Affair (The Great White Hunter)
-
Nov 18, 2010Taking into account the shortcomings of the period: rear projection and non location filming this is a solid adventure film. Really a three person chamber piece the success or failure of the film rests on the performances of its leads and there it's on solid ground. Both Peck and Preston do good work but the standout is Joan Bennett. As a woman turned into a hard article by a bad marriage though subtle gestures and sly looks she gives the film a tough grounded center and she has rarely looked so beautiful. Not having read the book I'm not sure how closely it follows but the film does have a Hemingway feel.jay n Super Reviewer
