    Compelling made-for-TV movie
    Although it plays like a somewhat lengthened "Twilight Zone" episode (even at 72 minutes) and the ending is pretty predictable, this is a solid piece of work. The mountain setting is perfect, giving the movie great atmosphere with the cold and isolation. The acting is solid (Culp's agonized trudge through the cold is the highlight), and there are some nice little touches here and there, such as the slowly growing seedly look of the two men.

    It's too bad that the many good made-for-TV movies of the '70s like these are almost impossible to see nowadays. ABC and Paramount (who made many of them) could make a guaranteed profit by releasing them on DVD. Why not put two on a disc - that would really increase sales!
