Movie Review
The Mountain (1956)
Screen: Toiling Up 'The Mountain'; Spencer Tracy, Robert Wagner Co-Star New Paramount Film Scales No Heights
By BOSLEY CROWTHER
Published: November 15, 1956
THE sheer physical toil and terror of scaling an icy stone wall up the side of a European mountain are described and imparted in great detail in Edward Dmytryk's new Paramount film, "The Mountain," which came to the Astor yesterday. Anyone who wants to know what it feels like to cling to a vertical face of frozen rock, thousands of feet above a pastoral valley, can get a pretty good idea from this film.
Mr. Dmytryk spares no nerve ends. With Spencer Tracy and Robert Wagner as his climbing team and with the area of their toil made convincing by some frequent magnificent mountain views, he works these two capable actors over a pile of granite in the studio to such length and to such hair breadth flirts with mishap that it is really terrifying to behold.
For straight, unadulterated torment, we grimly commend the sight of Mr. Tracy trying to pull himself to safety by the tips of his bleeding fingers clawing a ledge, while his climbing boots fumble to get a feeble toe-hold in the straight-down wall. This, coupled with the painful business of his driving pitons in the sheer rock and working his climbing rope through them so as to drag himself up the wall, makes for as tense and agonizing a show of mountain climbing as we have seen.
Mr. Tracy is not the only one who feels pooped when this long sequence comes to an end.
It must be said, however, that director Dmytryk's success with this central action in his picture does not extend through the rest of it, for the drama that fits around the climbing is flimsy and hard to take.
It has to do with two brothers, a tough old buzzard and a greedy young squirt, who secretly climb a mountain to reach the scene of an airplane wreck that the young one is bent upon looting. The old fellow goes to keep the kid from breaking his neck.
The obvious venality of this mission keeps the viewer from feeling much concern, other than the normal spectator interest, in the two men achieving their goal. And although what they find when they get there and what happens to them on their trip down tend to absolve the old fellow, he does not generate much sympathy.
Mr. Tracy plays him with physical ruggedness, but he lets the old fellow waver between a vague sort of peasant valor and gawking stupidity. It is hard to determine how to take him, except as a first-class mountain goat. Mr. Wagner's performance as the venal brother is strident and juvenile. It is also incongruously "American" amid what are obviously the Swiss Alps.
Those, by the way, are magnificent in the color and Vista-Vision that are used most effectively by Mr. Dmytryk. From green Swiss valleys to mountain snow fields, he has got some stunning scenery in this picture. That is worth seeing, as is the struggle of the two stars up the mountain. The rest of the picture and the rest of the cast are of little account.(http://www.movies.nytimes.com)
