Based on a short story by Ernest Hemingway. Gregory Peck stars as Harry Street, a writer who loses his intellectual and emotional way after early commercial success. While on safari in Africa, he pricks his leg on a poisonous thorn and falls ill. His wealthy wife (Hayward) is at his side, trying desperately to keep him alive. While delirious from fever, he reflects back on his colorful life from his teenage years in the midwest to his travels in Europe and then Africa. He looks back upon his one great love, (Gardner) and the circumstances that tore them apart. Through his recollections he tries to find the meaning of his life and work.
