MOVIE OF THE DAY ... five days one summer


a full length motion picture, available from Amazon, YouTube, and iTunes for a small fee. It is a complex romance set in the Swiss Alps, with authentic 1930s climbing action, and spectacular photography.  The 1982 critics panned the movie despite strong direction from Fred Zinneman who had also done From Here To Eternity, The Day Of The Jackal, Julia, and High Noon.

The movie was inspired by Kay Boyle's short story, "Maiden, Maiden."  As you can tell from the Amazon reviews, the movie is a gem.
