  The Old Man and The Sea

 

  Of the several films that have been made based on the novella, the most notable, produced in 1958, stars Spencer Tracy as Santiago and Felipe Pazos as Manolin. It was adapted by Peter Viertel and directed by John Sturges, Henry King (uncredited) and Fred Zinnemann (uncredited). It won the Academy Award for Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture, and was nominated in the categories of Best Actor in a Leading Role (Spencer Tracy) and Best Cinematography.

Another prominent version is a 1990 television movie starring Anthony Quinn as Santiago. This version introduces two characters not in the novella, Tom Pruitt and Mary Pruitt, played by Gary Cole and Patricia Clarkson, respectively.

In 1999, the centennial of Hemingway's birth, director Alexandr Petrov released an animated, large-format film of the novella, created from 29,000 hand-painted images. The project was initiated in 1995 after Petrov's first meeting with Productions Pascal Blais, a Canadian animation company. It received the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.
