Michael Palin Hemingway Adventure and Great Railway Journeys

2 DVD Set

HEMINGWAY ADVENTURE:
Depressive, disaster-prone, alcoholic and much married, Hemingway is viewed through the various locations he visited and wrote about in his novels. Comparing modern-day locations with rare archive footage featuring Hemingway, Palin follows him through Cuba, Spain, Kenya and many other places. Palin's brand of light-hearted curiosity is very much in evidence as he looks at the novelist's obsession with the bullfight, passion for reckless driving, and, of course, his literature.

GREAT RAILWAY JOURNEYS:
Michael Palin's first filmed travel adventure in 1980 was part of the BBC series Great Railway Journeys. In it he traveled the length of Britain by train covering 785 miles. In 1994, Palin filmed a second railway journey for the series which took him from Londonderry to the western tip of Ireland. He travels his 'family line' as he attempts to trace his great grandmother who left Ireland for the USA over 150 years ago.
