Ernest Hemingway’s memoir A Moveable Feast is in the works for the small screen. Village Roadshow Entertainment Group, along with Oscar-nominated actress Mariel Hemingway, the granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway, John Goldstone (Get Carter) and Marc Rosen (Sense8), have closed a deal to produce a television series based on the book. A search is underway for a writer.
Being told as a Hemingway origin story, A Moveable Feast is Hemingway’s earliest known work about his years as a poor but ambitious young expat journalist and writer in Paris in the 1920s. The book was first published in 1964 and describes the author’s apprenticeship as a young writer while he was married to his first wife, Hadley Richardson.
The memoir consists of various personal accounts, observations, and stories by Hemingway. Other notable people featured in the book include Sylvia Beach, Hilaire Belloc, Aleister Crowley, John Dos Passos, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald,...

Between the world wars, Paris was a magnet for an international artistic community that included Hemingway, Picasso, Joyce and Fitzgerald. But as Greta Schiller's engaging documentary makes clear, many talented women were also on the scene.
Lacking a connective theme and totally ignoring the other sex, "Paris Was a Woman" (opening Thursday at the Nuart in West Los Angeles) is a celebration of Bohemian women enjoying freedom from traditional lifestyles. Indeed, most of those profiled were lesbians, although Schiller ("Before Stonewall") makes no fresh conclusions beyond showing how precarious the creative life was for the talented, economically repressed females.
If the agenda is a bit fuzzy, the film is eminently watchable thanks to old and new interviews with the likes of authors Colette, Djuna Barnes and Gertrude Stein, painters Romaine Brooks and Marie Laurencin, photographers Bernice Abbott and Gisele Freund, publishers and book sellers Sylvia Beach and Adrienne Monnier and journalist Janet Flanner.
A theme of professional oppression emerges with the sagas of Beach and Stein. The former risked imprisonment to publish Joyce's "Ulysses" and went bankrupt while the author became wealthy and famous. Stein wrote in obscurity for 25 years but won acclaim for "The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas," only to have former comrades Matisse and Hemingway attack her viciously.
The career of Flanner, who wrote for the New Yorker under the pen name Genet, is a more upbeat segment. One of many Americans who settled on the Left Bank to escape her country's materialism and hypocrisy, Flanner commented on all things cultural but also chronicled the rise of fascism for the diffident Yanks back home.
There's also terrific period footage of Paris and a helpful narration read by Juliet Stevenson. The film successfully evokes the era, and the stories complete a portrait of Paris in a unique period that ended with World War II.
