Fatal Assassin / The Snows Of Kilimanjaro Classic Action Double Feature Dvd
Anthony Quinn and Gregory Peck star in two classics set in Africa. In FATAL ASSASSIN Quinn plays a desperate man reduced to kidnapping in the white-racist republic of South Africa. Dodging assassins, the kidnapper and his victim form an unusual bond. The lavish, big-budget blockbuster THE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO combines tales from Ernest Hemingway's life with an autobiographical novel of the same name. As Harry (Gregory Peck) lies wounded and delirious in an African campsite at the foot of the snow-covered slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, he recounts the story of his life in a series of flashbacks. Writing, women, and big-game hunting define and dominate his existence. In pursuit of all three, he traveled to the salons of Paris, battlefields of Spain, and plains of Africa. Now, in the shadow of the great mountain and his own approaching death from gangrene, he tries to make sense of his failures. Few Hemingway novels play as well onscreen as they do on paper, but under the direction of Henry King, star Peck turns in an inspired performance.
