Third Man on the Mountain

“Conquering the past would be the climb of his life”

No guide in the village will rope up for the Citadel, the peak that killed Rudi Matt's father fifteen years ago. When the British mountaineer Captain John Winter (Michael Rennie) arrives wanting to climb it, Rudi (James MacArthur) insists on going with him. Ken Annakin follows the four-man party up a summit nobody has reached, with Rudi carrying his father's failed attempt on his back.
