The Mountain movie scene

Spencer Tracy does a bit of cliffhanging in The Mountain.

Spencer Tracy (Adam’s Rib) and Robert Wagner (TV’s It Takes a Thief) star in the 1956 action-adventure film The Mountain, directed by Edward Dmytryk (Where Love Has Gone).

Tracy plays retired mountain climber and guide Zachary Wheeler, who reluctantly helps his younger brother Chris (Wagner) scale a treacherous mountain slope to reach the site of a recent plane crush. Zach isn’t all that into it — Chris wants reach the plane so he can loot it — but he’s willing to put his feelings aside to help his inexperienced bro.

After reaching the crash site, the men discover a lone survivor (Anna Kashfi), a lady who Zach really digs. Unfortunately, that puts a bit of a dent into Chris’ plans to abandon her and make off with the goods.

Olive Films released a DVD edition of this minor classic in April 2011, mastered from a 35mm archive print, and it looked gorgeous. We’re thinking the Blu-ray edition of this Technicolor film will look even snazzier!

There are no bonus features on the Blu-ray.
