Upon seeing it for the first time, Ernest Hemingway walked out after the first 25 minutes. He criticized most aspects of the film heavily, and said the only good thing about the film was Errol Flynn's performance.
Howard Hawks was the first to option the film rights in the early 1950s and proposed Ann Harding, Montgomery Clift and Margaret Sheridan as the stars. He eventually sold the rights to Darryl F. Zanuck.
As detailed in his autobiography, "The Kid Stays in the Picture", both cast and crew, Ernest Hemingway, Tyrone Power, and Ava Gardner included, attempted to have Robert Evans fired during production. Producer Darryl F. Zanuck refused, saying, "The kid stays in the picture," thus leading to both Evans' long career as a producer and the title of his book.
Filmed in Mexico.
There was an Australian documentary on Errol Flynn's life and career, narrated by Christopher Lee. It included an interview with Flynn regarding his Academy Award nomination for his critically acclaimed performance in "The Sun Also Rises." We are then told that the nomination "disappeared".
"Jake Barnes: [Answering Robert's questions about Lady Brett Ashley] Well, let me give you the facts. She's a drunk and a drifter. She's gonna marry a guy named Mike Campbell. That way she'll have a rich, sodden old age. Robert Cohn: I don't believe it! Jake Barnes: Don't ask a lot of fool questions if you don't like the answers. Robert Cohn: Well, I didn't ask you for a rundown on her private life. Jake Barnes: You asked me what I knew about her. Robert Cohn: I didn't ask you to insult her. Jake Barnes: Oh, go to Hell! Robert Cohn: Take that back! Jake Barnes: Cut out the prep school stuff, Robert! Robert Cohn: Take it back! Jake Barnes: Sure, sure. I never heard of Brett Ashley. How's that? Robert Cohn: No, not that! About me going to Hell! Jake Barnes: Don't go to Hell! Go back in the Select if that's what you want! Robert Cohn: All right, I will!"
"Lady Brett Ashley: Do you always kill your friends? Pedro Romero: Yes, so they do not kill me."
