Because we wanted to breathe in Hemingway's Montparnasse - and indeed there is 'Le Select' (perhaps the interior is a set). Then the second half is in Mexico - I mean Pamplona - where there is much bull taunting (interesting to see but makes the film flabby).
I've never been convinced by Tyrone Power. Apart from his character, everyone else is falling to pieces - Ava Gardner, Mel Ferrer, Eddie Albert and real-life alky Errol Flynn (who's rather good). Film benefits from Leo Tover's CinemaScope De Luxe location photography. Hemingway himself did not approve.
