It turns out to be a flawed, but not entirely unsuccessful, adaptation of Hemingway's short story. It appears the movie would have benefitted if it had stuck closer to its source material.

Snows of Kilimanjaro gets off to one of the slowest starts I have ever seen on the screen, but when It does get going it manages to turn Into a picture well acted and beautifully presented In technicolor.

The Snows of Kilimanjaro is mainly lacking in a sense of when enough is enough.
