The Old Man and the Sea

“SPENCER TRACY in his most suspenseful role...ERNEST HEMINGWAY'S story of Heroism...Defeat...Victory!”

The Old Man (Spencer Tracy), a Cuban fisherman, wants one good catch after nearly three months of coming home with nothing. Far out in the Gulf Stream, he hooks a marlin so big he can only hold the line and try to land it. John Sturges adapts Hemingway's 1952 novella with Tracy carrying most of the picture alone in a small boat.
