the good point beautiful scenery and and some viewer might appreciate the insight into mountain climbing in the 1930 . bad point the flashback be tedious and the end obvious ( to this viewer anyway ) and apart from connery and who play himself and a always the act uninvolving . and personally i do not care much about mountaineer in the 1930 and and this film do not do anything to quicken my interest . there be some surprise and but i feel the movie really lack from character whom one can care about represent in particular betsy brantley and who play kate and seem desperately out of her depth here . i find it to be pretentious and glacially slow . i would rather have that ninety minute of my life back .
