[The Mountain] doesn't allow its characters to make much of an impression.

Rating: 3/4 --
The Mountain, with its long stretches of quiet, bleak subject matter, and Alverson's staunch refusal to let us in, or fill in the blanks, creates a genuinely unnerving mood.

The established mood continues through the whole of the movie, but that third act ... desperately tries to frame a tone poem of despair as something more significant.

There's a chill about "The Mountain" that's conveyed in visual terms. And then it all, slowly and then completely, falls apart.

"The Mountain" is, after all, a look back at a time when individuality was a curse with a scientifically harsh solution. It's only appropriate that it unfold with its own distinctive aura of exquisite sterility.

One can easily watch the film the way Andy takes part in Wallace's odyssey-but you'll probably be disappointed if you expect the various ideas to add up to more than the sum of their parts...

This is the kind of movie that gives art-house movies a bad name.

Product Description:
Spencer Tracy stars in this outdoor adventure as Zachary Teller, a retired Alpine guide lured back into mountain climbing by his fortune-hunting younger brother, Chris (Robert Wagner). A passenger jet has crashed high in the Alps, and Chris hopes to recover the jewels and money carried by the undoubtedly dead survivors. After a long and treacherous climb, the pair discovers one passenger is still alive--a young Hindu girl (Anna Kashfi). Soon it's brother vs. brother in a test of strength and wills over the girl, the loot, and getting down the mountain alive.
Director Edward Dmytryk (MURDER MY SWEET, THE CAINE MUTINY) nicely captures some eye-popping Alpine scenery while carving out this rugged, character-driven story. Tracy is a little too portly and gray to be climbing mountains, but he knows how to act the role of a spiritually intrepid adventurer. Robert Wagner comes off well in one of his early roles as the greedy brother.
