Overview
Third Man on the Mountain is an American film directed by Ken Annakin and produced by Walt Disney Productions, released in 1959. It is adapted from a novel by James Ramsey Ullman, entitled "Banner In The Sky". In the middle of the 19th century in Switzerland, a famous British mountaineer, Captain John Winter, wanted to climb a difficult summit, the Citadel. He goes to a small village but no guide wants to accompany him. A young man from the village, Rudi Matt, whose father died fifteen years earlier during an attempt to climb the Citadel, is determined to accompany him, with the help of his uncle. Winter also manages to hire a guide from a neighboring village and competitor, Emil Saxo. The roped party of four men then begins the ascent of the still untouched summit.

00:02:40 Rudi!
00:05:14 It isn't fitting for the proprietor's daughter always to be hanging round the kitchen.
00:12:51 What do you think, Rudi? Can it be climbed?
00:15:53 Oh, you worry about me too much, Klaus. Rudi hasn't invited me yet.
00:19:10 You know, Franz, perhaps if you spoke to Herr Hempel
00:22:07 My apologies, Franz. I looked for you in the village.
00:24:56 A three-legged cow could do better than you.
00:29:56 Long before history told of Frenchmen
00:35:32 It's been left alone now for 16 years.
00:44:51 The money, of course, will be yours.
00:48:48 That's going to throw me off balance.
00:53:20 - Are you ready? - Yes, I'm ready.
00:57:37 In climbing, if you can't get the handholds you want, you take second best.
01:00:24 In the dark's velvet cloak...
01:04:43 There's someone outside, Emil.
01:07:34 But no one cared about business.
01:10:29 Every day you go out and climb peaks that have been climbed 100 times before.
01:14:15 No. My father and Sir Edward tried both of those ways.
01:20:31 He had nobody's permission.
01:23:47 Did I ever see you, or any other Kurtaler?
01:29:16 May I try? I still know it's the way.
01:35:15 - No. Just two black specks. - Didn't you say there were four?
01:39:09 Herr Saxo, there must be some way I can hold you.
01:46:13 Here I am, Rudi.
