For a film-double, details help to 'get it right'

摘要

This is the story of two boats named PILAR: novelist Ernest Hemingway's original 38' Wheeler Playmate of 1934, and a 34' Playmate of 1933 that will serve as a credible film-double. Researching the original boat, and keeping in mind a Hemingway note about The Old Man and the Sea-"It's a great story if I can get it right"-linked the two boats together in such a way that the story of one cannot be told without the other. PILAR is the crown jewel among artifacts preserved at the Finca Vigia Hemingway Museum on a hillside in Cuba.
