One year before the 1956 Olympics, Jill Kinmont (Marilyn Hassett), an 18-year-old skiing champion, suffers a horrific fall during competition. Kinmont is fortunate to survive the crash, but she is left paralyzed. With her life now completely altered, Kinmont undergoes an exhausting fight to regain some of what she has lost. Friends and family stand by her side to offer their support through her ordeal, but the dedication of fiancé and fellow skier Dick Buek (Beau Bridges) truly makes an impact.

The Other Side of the Mountain triumphs over its own emotional base and becomes a powerful testimony to individual strength and the value of life.

There are those who will weep and be inspired and feel that this is the Love Story of 1975, which, in a way, it is. And then there are those, like myself, who didn't much care for Love Story in 1970.

It WANTS to be Love Story, and Love Story was no classic.

This was Universals biggest hit in 40 years. A supreme grief fest, it's almost as good as Beaches!

This is one of the "older" movies that is so worthwhile. :)

I've seen parts of the sequel to this on TV, but as usual, the sequel doesn't compare to the original. This movie is bittersweet and a must see for anyone.

ABC must have used this as an afternoon special in the 1980s.
