Kyle M Occasionally nerve-whacking by scenically positional cinematography climbing the narratively meaningful expedition that’s lined by decent passion in alignment with the branded initiative curved by solid priorities. Also, it attributes to the iconic attraction it inspired with additional layers based upon what’s transpired.

Doesn't age well Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Dale R A young Swedish man dreams of climbing a local mountain called the "Citadel". Overall, not a bad film. The cast does a good job acting with the written dialog, the special effects were good for the time and the screenplay is well adapted from a novel by James Ramsey Ullman called Banner in the Sky. The shots of the Swiss Alps are really well done and worth a watch if you're into that. The first two acts are a bit on the slow side, but I was engaged during the third act. This film inspired the Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland. Toby Tyler (1960) Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review r 9 'Third Man on the Mountain' just barely makes for a good film. That's mostly thanks to the premise, which I rather like. It has an admirable message and you can't help but feel happy for the lead. However, for much of the 105 minute run time I felt quite bored as not much happens: it was talk, talk followed by climb followed by more talking. I think how well the film is shot helps overcome the sluggish parts. The cast are pretty solid. James MacArthur is a little less wooden than he is in 1958's 'The Light in the Forest', though I don't actually mind his acting style. Michael Rennie is certainly, at least to me, the star of this. He gives a cool and charismatic performance as Winter. A few of the others are decent, but the female characters are just as pointless as you'd unfortunately expect. I think it's the iffy pacing and lack of an in-depth storyline that are the reasons as to why I felt like it drags. Still, I did connect with Rudi's story in the end which is the point I guess.
