Did you know
- TriviaThe events of making this movie was on the 1963 spoken word LP of ghost stories called Strange Truths' as told by Tom O'Neil. Which told of a time during filming when some of the crew had gotten lost, in a blizzard, on the mountain. The only thing that saved them was a mysterious climber, in a bright red jacket, appearing before them waving and shouting from about 10ft away. Though the crew couldn't hear they could feel a force opposite of the wind holding them back. When the storm abated they realized that not only would they have stepped off a cliff, had the red jacked climber not warned them, but he had also been standing in midair. When they told the villagers the story they were amazed when the people told them there had been a red jacketed climber who had recently fallen off that very cliff to his death and never seen again...until then. Suppose to be true.
Featured review
John Derek produced and starred in High Hell a story of a mine on the top of a mountain and Derek's determination to get the gold out of it. The only problem is that some really crazy people built a town at the foot of the mountain and any real blasting will result in an avalanche. That part has me reaching, for the life of me I can't wrap my mind around that idea.
But Derek and a small crew have the gold fever and they plan to stay in a mountain cabin. Wouldn't you know it, Elaine Stewart at her most sultry is the wife of one of them and she's come up. Her part is kind of like the one Marilyn Monroe played in The Misfits. I'd hate to think Arthur Miller got the idea of his masterpiece from this drivel.
All the clichés with six men and a girl trapped on a mountain grow wild in this film.
