Hemingway, who committed suicide in 1961, snarked that in a love scene in "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Gary Cooper "didn't take off his coat. That's one hell of a way for a guy to make love, with his coat on - in a sleeping bag."

Gay Hollywood never understood real men

I'm not much of a Hemingway aficionado, but he sounds like my kind of guy.

LOL

 From actors to directors to producers, most denizens of Hollywood doggedly display their inability to discern fact from fiction off-screen.   They work in fantasy-land, but derive their real-life character and morals from the dreams and desires of the characters they play and the movies they direct or produce, completely divorced from reality.  They believe they can create Utopia by manipulating reality through public opinion and morals as easily as they set the stage on the silver-screen and boob-tube.  They are so immersed in fantasy that they can no longer perceive reality.

" ...Hemingway and Hollywood had a tempestuous relationship..."

That's probably putting it mildly.  I imagine that most authors probably hate the way Hollywood butchers their works.  Many of the greatest novelists base their works on observations of the real world which  resonate with so many people.  It is easy to understand why Hemingway, being one such author, would hold Hollywood in complete disdain and contempt.
