Description
Based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway and featuring a terrific cast of
Hollywood greats, The Sun Also Rises finally arrives on DVD.
American news correspondent Jake Barnes (Tyrone Power) relocates to Paris after
receiving serious injuries during WWI which have rendered him impotent. Barnes
links up with several other lost souls, including the lavicious Lady Brett
Ashley (Ava Gardner) and drunkard Mike Campbell (Errol Flynn). In their search
for new thrills, Barnes and his cohorts trundle off to Spain, where they
participate in the annual Pamplona bull run and act as unofficial 'sponsors' of
young matador Pedro Romero (Robert Evans). However, they find no lasting
satisfaction in anything they encounter...
It was during the filming of The Sun Also Rises that former Paramount Executive,
Robert Evans, unwittingly stumbled upon the title for his autobiography. When
Darryl F. Zannuck was confronted by Tyrone Power, Ava Gardner and Ernest
Hemingway requesting that Evans be removed from his role, Zannuck uttered the
immortal line, "The kid stays in the picture."
