I remember reading Banner in the Sky, the book by James Ramsey Ullman that the movie is based on, while in grade school. When we had reading time I would always pick up this book though I had hundreds of others to choose from. Third Man on the Mountain is a great story with decent special effects that seem way ahead of their day. It was shot on location in Zermatt, Switzerland, a beautiful mountain village nestled directly beneath the imposing heights of one of the most famous mountains on earth, the Matterhorn. James MacArthur plays the main role, the youth Rudi Matt who is made to work as a dishwasher due to his father's tragic climbing death and his mother's wish that her son never become a guide. With the help of the English climber John Winter, Rudi eventually realizes his dream and the Citadel, the mountain believed to be unclimbable and the one that took the life of Rudi's father, is conquered. This movie is for fans of great older movies as well as those who love the original Disney movies with their particular feel and look. You may recognize MacArthur not only from his role in the popular TV show Hawaii Five-O, but also from Disney's Swiss Family Robinson.Read full review

This movie is pretty old but still the actors in it make it quite interesting even without the special effects most the movies made today would be able to incorporate into it. If you like good clean movies without cursing, violence, nudity and the immorality of the majority of today's fare, then you'll like this movie. Rated "G" and family friendly.
