There is reason to think Tom Pruitt in the 1990 TV adaptation of The Old Man and the Sea is meant to represent a Hemingway‐type figure, maybe even something like Hemingway himself (or at least a stand‐in). Several sources and critiques suggest that, and the movie adds this character in as sort of a framing device.
