The Old Man and the Sea Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The film can't do proper justice to the literary masterpiece.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
Tracy reading Hemingway's lines...brings to them a simple dignity and nobility that is hard to match.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Tracy with a hokey accent floats in a studio tank for what seems like forever.

Steve Crum
Talky, but not surprising, since it is based on Hemingway story of old man (Tracy) musing about catching huge fish.
Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Christopher Lloyd
The 1958 film, made six years after publication of the book, is a faithful adaptation - virtually a word-for-word copy of Hemingway's dialogue and prose - that is not without its faults.
Miami Herald
George Bourke
There is as much raw excitement as you'd find at a bullfight or in a Hitchcock suspense movie.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A real curio, a thoughtful movie that entertains without ever really convincing.
The Catholic World
Moira Walsh
The emotional impact is second hand and the narrative seems unnecessarily padded.
