In this exciting adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway story, Gregory Peck plays writer Harry Street, lying wounded after an accident on a haunting trip in Kenya. Whilst waiting to be rescued, he looks back over the events of his life and reflects on his failure as a writer, his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, and on his love for the three women in his life – the beautiful Cynthia (Ava Gardner), the icy Countess Liz (Hildegard Knef) and the wealthy Helen (Susan Hayward). He also ponders on the mysterious riddle given him by his uncle, concerning a leopard found dead in the snow at the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Filmed in beautiful locations in Africa, Paris, Spain and the Riviera.
