Movie Reviews of THE MOUNTAIN with Spencer Tracy (Import Edition)(Adventure)
Movie Review: The Mountain - A Timeless Film Made in 1956
Summary: 5 Stars
Without a doubt "The Mountain" made in 1956 is my all-time favorite film, mainly because of Spencer Tracy the all-time greatest Hollywood actor. There are many special qualities that this movie possesses which might not be appreciated after the first viewing. While watching notice that before any intros are displayed, the opening scene wastes little time showing a plane in distress which then crashes, with great visual and audio effects, on top of a mountain. The two main characters (Spencer Tracy as "Zachary Teller" and Robert Wagner as "Christopher Teller") are brothers that for reasons of good vs. evil decide to climb the mountain to reach the wreck of the crashed airliner. This becomes the basis of a fabulous and unusual plot packed with emotion, adventure and spiritual meaning. Zachary wants to help Chris climb due to the danger and the love for his brother but Chris wants to climb to take the dead passenger's possessions and escape his life as a simple farm hand. One cannot help but identify with Zachary's struggle to convince Chris that what he is doing is wrong as indicated by the following line stated before the climb began: "You want me to take you up to the top of the mountain in the sight of God so that you can pick the pockets of dead people? Isn't there anything inside of you that tells you its wrong?" Chris then responds "I'd do worse than that to get out of here", thereby setting the stage for a "clash of wills". For those who have not seen the film I will not say how it ends as I wish that all who read this review who have not seen it can one day give it a look. It has beautiful scenery of the French Alps and the countryside as well. Enjoy and God bless.
Summary of THE MOUNTAIN with Spencer Tracy (Import Edition)(Adventure)
High quality DVD manufactured in South Korea. Clear full screen color image. NTSC all region format. DVD can be played on any North American DVD player. Original English dialog with optional Korean subtitles which can be easily turned off. On screen menus are in English and are easy to use. While this movie may not have production values equal to that of recent mountaineering movies it offers a wonderful example of Spencer Tracy's acting. Tracy fans will not be disappointed. The following review appeared for the VHS version: "Mountain Madness, December 19, 2002 Reviewer: C. A. Luster "therooksnook" (Burke, VA USA) If you enjoy action movies that slowly build to an exciting climax you will enjoy this one. Spencer Tracy as the older brother was a bit old to play the older brother to Robert Wagner but I guess they felt the younger brother needed to be much younger and irresponsible. As for Tracy's feat of strength, people in stressful situations get the adrenaline flowing and can do some incredible things. You have to be strong to endure that type of climbing. This movie takes place on a mountain where the two brothers go to see if there are survivors to a plane crash. Tracy's intentions are pure of heart while Wagner's are of looting. The turmoil between the two and the treacherous mountain terrain make it a movie that will draw you into this well made drama."Similar DVD Movies
