DESCRIPTION:

War. Freedom. loyalty. Love. Manhood. Ernest Hemingways most powerful themes are gloriously captured in Islands in the Stream. George C. Scott and director Franklin J. Schatlner, who teamed so memorably in Patton, reunite in this compelling version of PapaHemingways posthumous novel. Scott plays Thomas Hudson, a sculptor whose isolation in the Bahamas is ended by two forces: the visit of his sons...and the outbreak of World War II. The film is touching in its details of a fathers love- and heroic in its defiance of tyranny. The rich sweep of a literary legend washes over Islands in the Stream.
