Thursday’s film, THE MOUNTAIN. Spencer Tracey plays veteran mountain guide Zachary Wheeler, who is coaxed out of retirement when a passenger plan crashes on a high mountain. He decided it isn’t worth risking his life to recover the bodies of the passengers, but his hot-headed younger brother Chris(Robert Wagner), hoping to claim the victims valuables talks Zachary into accompanying him to the mountaintop. After their treacherous upward journey, the brothers discover that one of the passengers, a Hindu girl (Anna Kashi), is still alive. Zachary wants to bring her back to safety, but the greedy Chris would rather abandon her and make off with the valuables. It is inevitable, then, that not everyone is going to get off the mountain alive. A worthwhile character study enhanced by superb location photography.
