Featured review
Strictly for mountain lovers
This is one of numerous films made in the thirties which were centered around à mountain.Lots of picturesque views of mountains but very little else.There is à story about competing parties of climbers and how à rope broke killing some of thé climbers.It is otherwise a rather dull film.
