flashback42 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Retiring the question 1958's The Old Man and the Sea. During the title character's (Spencer Tracy) ordeal with a marlin that he can not land, he thinks over things in his life, sometimes falling asleep, sometimes growing delirious. Trips to Africa in his youth figure into his dreams. In a more wakeful moment, he regrets that he has been unable to keep up with the baseball scores. Tracy, as narrator expresses this for him. Hemingway uses English words, with Spanish-type word placement, in expressing his thoughts. The source novel has a passage where the old man and his youthful friend are talking baseball: "I fear the great (Joe) DiMaggio will have great peril from the Tigers of Detroit." Open thread.
