Waugh Pilgram! Ain't fer flatlanders........2007-06-23

Seriously, this is a great movie. FAR, FAR better and more accurate than "Jeremiah Johnson"... a Robert Redford movie. This movie is kinda gritty and realistic. Even down to the guns and clothing. The script might be a little better, but... it's entertaining, it's pretty much true-to-life showing the mountain man's life and last, it doesn't have that stupid 1970's hippy singing that PLAGUES "Jeremiah Johnson." It's also not chock-full of political correctness and blatherings about the evyil United States.

So, if you're interested in the fur trade era, give it a look. If you're a reenactor, you HAVE to!

Great frontier film!.......2007-05-14

Charlton Heston and Brian Keith have great chemistry. This film is humorous and is a wonderful portrayal of life in frontier times! Like us, you'll watch it over and over again!!

Good western.......2007-02-13

This is a comic western with the old characters we recognized for their true grit and gruff manner. Two seasoned trappers try to get their beaver plews to the Rendezvous for trade without losing their scalps to the Crow or the very aggressive Blackfoot. There's also a greenhorn thrown in the mix with big ideas for future trade that the old timers find laughable, despite the shrinking market for beaver.
The trail becomes even more treacherous when a squaw from the Blackfoot tribe that attacks them would rather stay with the two white trappers than return to her abusive husband. Heavy Eagle of the Blackfoot has no intention of allowing his women to run off with white men. His blood feud is spurred by pride rather than love for his wife, but he stops at nothing to get even with the trappers. The humor in the film was fun and something I feel is missing from some westerns. This movie is definitely a keeper for my Western collection of DVD's.

The Mountain Men.......2007-01-19

My husband and I were very disappointed with this movie. The best way to describe it is "goofey". I figured with big names like Charlton Heston and Brian Keith (and I'm a fan of both) that this would be a good movie, but it wasn't. Every other word out of Brian Keith was G-- D--- and I mean through the entire movie..well all that we watched anyway. If you want to watch a good mountain man movie, Jeremiah Johnson is the best.
The quality of the DVD itself was great..it's just a bad movie.

MOUNTAIN MEN MAYHEM.......2007-01-12

I loved this movie when it was released in 1980 to the big screen. Right from the start it grabs your attention with the beautiful scenery and sweeping music score supplied by Michel Legrand. There's action aplenty right from the start and lot's of humor and gratuitous violence throughout to keep your interest. It stars Charlton Heston and Brian Keith as two crusty old mountain men who get more than they bargained for when Heston's character takes an indian sqaw under his wing. The acting is plausible, the direction is well done by Richard Lang, the script is also pretty well handled by Heston's own son Fraser Clarke Heston although it is at times (most times)rather foul.
I remember seeing Chuck Heston saying in an interview that he actually regretted making this movie. Perhaps it was because instead of playing a biblical character in this movie he was actually taking the Lord's name in vain.
I am dissapointed in this dvd release because it is not in widescreen. If any movie deserves it this one does, and even though it boasts about being mastered in high definition the picture quality really sucks. Surely Columbia will release a better version with remastered picture and sound restoring this movie to the glory of it's original release. Here's hoping.

Description

The first film by master Hungarian director Istvan Szots, MEN ON THE MOUNTAIN tells the story of a woodcutter who moves his family into the mountains for a better life. But, the family cannot escape tragedy, even in the beautiful Alps. When the wife dies under dreadful circumstances, the woodcutter's life unravels in one misfortune after another. Deviating from the mainstream comedies and melodramas of wartime Hungary, MEN ON THE MOUNTAIN captures the hard life and unique ways of people living in the mountains of Transylvania. The straightforward realism and devotion to the details of daily life made an impression on Italian cinema as the Neorealists emerged, making Szots's lost classic a significant contribution to world cinema.

Description

Europe's Secret Armies' is not only an exploration of the stories behind the resistance and partisan groups that formed to fight a hated oppressor. These were civilian armies, formed by ordinary men and women left with no other option but to go underground and strike back. The series hears from those who were not content to bend the knee or were not prepared to be part of Adolf Hitler's ever-growing Third Reich. The series also investigates the scope and style of resistance within Nazi Germany itself. Despite the Enabling Act these groups, which were often born of fear and resentment, were numerous before the war and many survived through it. Organisations such as the Solf Circle, the Kreisau Circle, the Eilbeck Comrades and the New Beginnen played a major role in the gradual erosion of Hitler's power on the home front.
