The Macomber Affair

The animals, though not the actors, are in East Africa, Hunter Wilson (Gregory Peck) guiding Margo (Joan Bennett) and Francis (Robert Preston), whom we know will not survive, Macomber on the first night of their safari, in The Macomber Affair, 1947, from an Ernest Hemingway story.

In Kenya, hunter Wilson (Gregory Peck) is filling out the report on the shooting death of his client Macomber (Robert Preston), whom we meet in flashback, attitudes from Ernest Hemingway's original story emerging, in director Zoltan Korda's The Macomber Affair, 1947.

The opening not from Ernest Hemingway's short story but as devised by director Zoltan Korda and his screenwriters, Gregory Peck as African hunter Wilson, Joan Bennett the bereaved wife Margaret, Reginald Denny as colonial policeman Smollet, in The Macomber Affair, 1947.
