Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe scene where the falcon starts freaking out was caused by somebody upsetting it from behind. If you look closely, you can see the arm of one of the crew members behind it causing it to be upset. That probably was Dan Haggerty, who is also uncredited for the film, but who worked as the animal handler in it. He later went on to play the title role in The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams (1977).

- Quotes
Sam: The deer have pressed in all around me. They're hungry. They come into the hemlock grove to hide and sleep for the day. They manage the snow so well on their slender hooves. If I was to know that a million years from today, my children's children were to live as I am living in these mountains, I would marry me a wife with slender feet and begin immediately to breed a race with hooves. So that the mountain children of the future might run through the snows and meadows and mountains and marshes as easily as the deer. I must be pretty lonely to be having such daydreams. I guess I am.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Painted Hills (1993)
The familiar scenery of the Green Mountains of southern Québec was breathtaking on the big screen. My mother pointed out the scene where Teddy Eccles' character, Sam, goes to the library in Knowlton, a library she had been to many times.
I understand Eccles attended and signed the guestbook of Olivet Baptist Church in Sutton, the church where my mother grew up.
Certainly, every kid has a dream of some adventure independent of parents and this movie helped me live mine a little.
