Brilliant film, one of my favorite films.
The scene at the end with the ice cold beers is a classic,as is the whole film. Good from start to finish.
The K2 is the star:) can't beat black and white war films
Couldnt agree more,all that stiff upper lip stuff,seriously though,without the special effects of today films back then had to rely on a good compelling story line,in this case,4 people pitched against the elements with the tension building as the adventure progresses.A genuine classic.Quote:

This is a great film. I watched it recently with my 8 y.o. Grandchild who thorougly enjoyed it - she was gripped.
I bought a copy on dvd and the quality was fantastic - how this movie suited monochrome. Colour would have spoiled it in my opinion.
Later, I realised I had it as a newspaper giveway , oh well, now I have two.....I'm sure the child's own collection will benefit from my oversight soon.:cool:
I have seen this film several times. The first was as a child and it seemed real to me then. I still like it.
You always did have good taste in films percy.
