Nothing like it before, nothing like it again!
A young couple go climbing in the mountains on their honeymoon, she
gets killed and he, unconsolable, wanders the mountains for years
without her. Another couple come to the same mountains, meet him and
ask him to be their guide. Disaster strikes yet again. A frozen
mountain
landscape is the setting for some of the most spectacular film shots
of the era which have not been surpassed even with todays
technology.
Excellent!
