Description:
Based on a true story, here is the thrilling, critically acclaimed account of Rudi Matt (James MacArthur), a young kitchen worker who is determined to conquer the Citadel -- the jagged, snowcapped peak that claimed his father's life. Encouraged by both a famed English climber (Michael Rennie) and the youth's devoted girlfriend (Janet Munro), Rudi goes through a grueling training period before he is ready to face the incredible dangers of the killer mountain. Shot on location in Zermatt, Switzerland, and featuring spectacular scenery and an outstanding cast, THIRD MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN is one of the finest adventure films of all time!

Rating:  - A testament to the old Disney studio.
Third Man on the Mountain is, without question, one of the finest movies that Disney turned out in the late 50's. I saw this movie as an 11 year old and was captivated immediately. Comparing Third Man to some of the Disney product today will tell you just how far that company as slipped in the effort to make a profit, and more broadly, how much our society has changed.
With a cast of first rate actors that include Michael Rennie (Capt. John Winter), James MacArthur (Rudi Matt), Janet ... Read More
Rating: - Ignore The Complaints About The DVD Quality And Enjoy The Adventure!
This movie inspired me to become a mountain climber, scaling the second highest mountain in California at the age of 11. Fourteen years later (1977) I spent 10 days at the base of the Matterhorn (German words Matte, meaning meadow, and Horn, which means peak) hoping to scale the mountain of my dreams and that inspired me to climb mountains. Much to my disappointment, due to extremely hot weather causing numerous avalanches, the Matterhorn never reopened for climbing; and I never got to scale the "Citadel." ... Read More
Rating: - Matterhorn Disney style
This is a lovely movie, about a young man whose famous father died on the Matterhorn. Out to prove his fathers theory was right on how the mountain could be conquered, he has to deal with the obstacles his family has placed in his way, to keep him safe from "the citadel" as the matterhorn is called in this story. The characters, scenery, the village, and the hut on the mountain are all places I will visit again and again.
Rating:  - Mountaineering adventure
Excellent family movie, all good clean adventure with a moral, with many very realistic period Alpine climbing sequences. One of the best of its kind.
Rating: - Finally Bought It
I've loved this movie since I was a kid and saw it in the theater when I was seven. I hadn't bought the DVD for all these years because of all the reviews here at Amazon that scare you away by describing the quality as horrendous. Let me tell anyone who loves this movie but hasn't bought it due to the bad quality reviews....they're all nuts! The quality is great, superb! On a 65" widescreen TV the movie was just breathtaking to watch...it's so moving and uplifting. No bundle of firewood this DVD.
