BBC - Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure (1999) 1080p HDTV x265 AAC MVGroup

Michael Palin follows in Hemingway's footsteps across Europe, Asia and Africa.

Chapter 1: Spain to Kenya
Michael Palin travels to Pamplona Spain for the annual Running of the Bulls festival and to Kenya where he encounters very large animals in the wild and joins park rangers in the search for poachers.

Chapter 2: Chicago to Europe
Michael Palin moves from the busy streets of Chicago to a suburb of Oak Park, Illinois. Here, in a town that Hemingway apparently called a place of 'wide lawns and narrow minds', his ambitious and creative mother dressed him as a girl and wrote some melancholy music.

Chapter 3: Florida to Africa
Michael Palin continues to trace Hemingway's journey. He arrives in Key West in time for Hemingway's 100th birthday celebrations, where he is given boxing lessons from 83-year-old Shine Forbes who sparred with Hemingway.

Chapter 4: Cuba to Idaho
Michael Palin stays in Ernest Hemingway's favourite Cuban hotel and samples a few of his favourite hangouts including Bodeguita del Medio and the Floridita in old Havana. He meets 101-year-old Gregorio Fuentes, considered an Old Man of the Sea, and who sits in the sun, smoking cigars.
