| | Ernest Hemingway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | While Hemingway had initially claimed that the novel was an obsolete form of literature, he was apparently inspired to write one after reading Fitzgerald's manuscript for The Great Gatsby. | | | Hemingway's own first book, called Three Stories and Ten Poems (1923), was published in Paris by Robert McAlmon. | | | In Latin American literature, Hemingway's impact can perhaps best be seen in the work of Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, who, for instance, often uses the sea as a central image in his fiction. |

| | Ernest Hemingway Biography |
| | Ernest Hemingway is a giant of modern literature. | | | As or more important, Hemingway’s style, with its consistent use of short, concrete, direct prose and of scenes consisting exclusively of dialogue, gives his novels and short stories a distinctive accessibility that is immediately identifiable with the author. | | | We note, too, that although Hemingway’s novels usually follow a straightforward chronological progression as in the three days of For Whom the Bell Tolls, Hemingway does make use of summary accounts of the past, of memories related externally as stories, and of flashbacks. |

| | Hemingway claims to have written the story in a frenzy of inspiration on May 16, 1926, before lunch. | | | ‘‘The Killers’’ remains one of Hemingway’s most anthologized stories because it is representative of Hemingway’s style and the subjects that would occupy his work throughout his career. | | | His original title for the story was ‘‘The Matadors.’’ Hemingway included the story in his 1927 collection Men Without Women, and it also appears in The Nick Adams Stories (1972). |

| | The DVD Journal Reviews : The Killers: The Criterion Collection |
| | Ernest Hemingway's 1927 short story "The Killers" is short and sweet, a lean reduction by the literary master of the pulpy fiction of his contemporaries. | | | Although Marvin is terrific is his limited role, the same can't be said about the scenes recounting North's doomed whirlwind romance with Sheila (Dickinson), or their mail heist in league with kingpin Jack Browning (Ronald Reagan). | | | That's the premise, anyway, of this Criterion double-feature DVD, which groups the loose, noir ish 1946 adaptation with an even looser version produced 18 years later, as well as a strong selection of additional features including a faithful (and, necessarily, short) screen version of the story in student-film form by a young Andrei Tarkovsky. |

| | The Killers - Criterion |
| | The Killers uses Ernest Hemingway’s classic short story as a jumping-off point for an intense, hard-edged, and stylish tale of robbery, unrequited love, double-crosses, and brutal betrayal. | | | With The Killers, hard-nosed director Don Siegel deviates radically from the Ernest Hemingway short story and the 1946 film of the same name, fashioning a tale of amorality and white-knuckled suspense uniquely his own. | | | This gnawing question leads the hit men deep into a twisted underworld of violence and betrayal under the bright California sun, populated by an unsavory cast of characters including the vicious white-collar gangster Browning (Ronald Reagan) and the beautiful Sheila Farr (Angie Dickinson). |

| | This 1946 adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's short story adds well over an hour of new material to the original tale. | | | Soon the facts tumble into place--the dead man had once been a top-drawer racer who fell for a glamorous woman (Angie Dickinson), the latter gradually pulling him into the orbit of a criminal villain (a convincingly evil Ronald Reagan)--and the film becomes increasingly dark and dangerous. | | | The reason is, while director Robert Siodmak, star Burt Lancaster, and an outstanding supporting cast are faithful to Hemingway's work, his story only takes up about 15 minutes of screen time. |

| | The opening sequence defiantly preserves the integrity of Hemingway’s tale of hired killers invading a small-town sandwich counter in order to execute the on-the-lam ex-boxer, Ole “Swede” Andreson—up to and including the witnessing presence of Hemingway’s continuing character Nick Adams, who’ll shortly afterwards be lopped out, a kind of red herring protagonist. | | | The result, in this case, was the only adaptation of his work the filmophobic Hemingway ever spoke of approvingly. | | | It was of course Huston who famously got The Maltese Falcon right by shooting dialogue straight from Hammett’s book. |

| | Reagan never had the screen charisma of the A-list leading men of his era—he never reached the heights of James Stewart, say, but he's so creepily good here that it's fun to imagine what he might have been like on screen had he done more cultivating of his dark side. | | | On the first disc is a version (21m:17s) directed in part by Andrei Tarkovsky, in 1956, while he was a film student in the U.S.S.R.—Hemingway's stories had only recently been translated and published there, and Tarkovsky and a few of his comrades adapted The Killers in a pretty straightforward accounting of the short story. | | | Many of the structural elements are the same as the first version, and many of those go back to Hemingway; but Siegel puts his own imprint on the material, and this version is equally full of fascinations, and is a telling document about its own time. |

| | Honestly, he is quite effective in the role, particularly in meeting his fate, for Reagan's lack of sympathy suggests the very acceptance of destiny that Hemingway celebrated in his prose. | | | He appreciated Hellinger's 1946 transformation of his 1927 short story, "The Killers." In it, Hemingway had distilled a number of his obsessions, most notably, "grace under pressure." The taciturn Swede, hunted by the eponymous hoodlums, refuses to flee his fate or provide any rationale for his imminent demise. | | | Like many other noirs, The Killers includes subordinate characters who do not simply move the plot forward, but have a vivid life of their own. |

| | This is not meant as a dichotomous judgment on either film's ultimate quality (I think both are spectacular), but rather on their differing styles and approaches to Hemingway's source material. | | | Of particular interest is his view on Hemingway's stoic machismo, especially regarding a character's ability to accept their inevitable death, and how this manifests itself in both movies. | | | This racial theme is inherent in Hemingway's story, but Siodmak doesn't go much further with it through the rest of his film. |
