Plot Synopsis:
Ernest Hemingway's choice for the lead in the film version of his "The Old Man and the Sea" was the right one: Spencer Tracy's performance brought him the sixth of his nine Academy Award® nominations, and the film won the National Board of Review's 1958 Best Picture and Best Actor awards. Alone in a small skiff, an aging Cuban fisherman catches a huge marlin - and must defy the sea, marauding sharks, and his own flagging strength to bring his great catch home. Beautifully filmed in part on sun-drenched Cuban locales by master director John Sturges, and graced by Dimitri Tiomkin's Oscar® winning score, "The Old Man and the Sea" is a colorful cinematic ode to the indomitability of the human spirit.
