Notes et avis

This is an old time classic movie. Spencer Tracy is THE OLD MAN, nobody else who has ever play the part comes close. The movie itself is, to me, the best ever adaptation of Hemingway's masterpiece novel, do not expect special effects or great technicalities, everything spins around Spencer Tracy, his scares and one message: we may enjoy small victories while alive but, eventually, nature wins and takes it all. Sad, true and epic.
