Hemingway Film Screened in Havana

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Papa is the first Hollywood feature to film on location in Cuba since the 1959 coup. Scenes were shot in Hemingway's home Finca Vigia and other Hemingway hangouts including La Floridita restaurant and Ambos Mundos Hotel. "It was an absolute passion to actually make it in Cuba where everything that is in the script happened, where the finca (farm) is where (Hemingway) lived, where his boat was, all the spots from the Morro castle to Cojimar where he fished," director Bob Yari said.
If those places sound familiar to FB&C readers, it's because we too traveled to "Hemingway's Havana," back in our winter 2015 issue.
