The still shows Ernest Hemingway, who was active as a war correspondent in Normandy in 1944. Jack Lieb encountered him at Mont-Saint-Michel, one of the few meetings with prominent figures that Lieb captured in this phase of his film. The section on the Normandy hinterland and Mont-Saint-Michel follows in the film after the landing at Utah Beach and the fall of Cherbourg. As rare color footage, the image documents Hemingway in a context that is otherwise preserved almost exclusively in black and white.
