Plot: Richard Harris and Robert Duvall star in this low-key {/drama} concerning a hard-drinking former sea captain (Richard Harris) who befriends a shy retired barber (Robert Duvall). Though their polar-opposite personalities find the relationship slow going at first, roguish Frank (Harris) and gentle Walter (Duvall) soon develop a close friendship as they pass the days with conversation. As death looms near and their pasts seem to evaporate into the air with the passing of each day, the lonely souls find comfort in each other's company until their fragile friendship is shattered. When Frank insults a waitress (Sandra Bullock) with whom Walter harbors a protective friendship, Walter makes the decision to cut his ties with loutish Frank. Forced to reevaluate their friendship, the two lonely souls attempt to find meaning in their lives as their chances for connecting with the outside world grows ever more dim. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Love, Love, Love it! And as of 9/15/09, it's finally out on DVD in the U.S.
Added 9/18/2009

I LOVE this movie and like a lot the reviewers here, I have been waiting for the DVD release for years... well, wait no more!

Turns out that a new friend of mine works at Warner Bros. Home Video and she was able to give me the scoop a couple of months ago that WB was finally releasing the DVD as an "On Demand" item so you won't find it in retail stores, only at the WB online store. It was available as of September 15. I ordered two :)

[...]

Enjoy!

A Touching Human Story
Added 9/12/2009

What started out as a student film project becomes a virtually lost treasure of American Cinema. The simple story of two lonely seniors who meet on a park bench and develop a relationship based, not upon their commonalities but on their differences, is warmed and elevated by the understated and gentle performances of Richard Harris and Robert Duvall. While the script is somewhat thin and meandering, the excellent cast takes full advantage of the room and leeway between the written words to draw the viewer into a personal relationship with each of them. "Hemingway" makes for a truly personal and human film. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Great movie, looked at a lot of places before I found it on Amazon. I wanted to wait until I found it on DVD and I should have. The VHS tape's picture quality and sound was poor to say it was a new tape. If I could have previewed the tape before buying I would have decided to wait on the DVD to come out.
