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.

00:15:45 Say, choral group tonight. I'd be pleased to take you.
00:18:49 Will you not tell anyone you saw me?
00:21:40 No matter what you say, he's still climbed higher than any man in Kurtal.
00:24:33 It may very well be. Now, you calm down.
00:29:25 It seems we're not alone.
00:34:38 - No. - In that case, we might as well eat.
00:43:19 The boy's all right. He's back where he belongs.
00:47:14 - Meet me at my house at eight o'clock. - What do you mean? Where're we going?
00:51:22 Two things your father never sought, and he was the greatest climber of them all.
00:56:34 Anyway, he's left.
00:59:13 Because I have two hands, two legs, one head.
01:02:17 Why would you want to dance with me if you could have Klaus Wesselhoft?
01:06:29 You are the master.
01:09:18 For almost five minutes I watched as they moved up in a row.
01:11:49 I shall talk Captain Winter out of his foolishness and bring down my nephew.
01:15:52 Then, please, let me climb the Citadel with you alone.
01:22:19 I told her that if you were still alive, I'd find you.
01:25:28 I'm also 65 years. I don't intend to miss this. Besides, you'll need a cook.
01:32:47 At the end of the snow, we'll stop for the night.
01:36:19 Yes. Or a dishwasher.
01:40:37 He brought these all the way up from Kurtal.
