On ITV 4 tonight.
Very underrated in my opinion- this film gets dismissed out of hand by some critics.
But it looks good, some brilliant climbing sequences, and a hugeley enjoyable performance by the great Jack Cassidy as Miles Mellough.
 
I watch it when it's on. :)

You've got to respect Eastwood and the others involved.

Real actors on the real mountain and often at the real place on it they are in the story.

Makes Cliffhanger seem even sillier. ;)
 
Original choice was Paul Newman.

Who turned it down as he didnt like violent films at that time or so he said.

Ironic and frankly hypocritical given Fort Apache The Bronx soon after and his monetary support for NORAID....
