      Storyline

      Did you know

      • Trivia
        The Matterhorn was a real set location and actors and crew were required to climb the summit for filming.
      • Goofs
        The amount of blood on Captain Winter's bandage keeps changing from scene to scene at the end of the movie.
      • Quotes
        • Frau Matt: Would you want to be the wife of a guide?
        • Lizbeth Hempel: Yes. Or of a dishwasher, or a hotel proprietor. But never the wife of a hotel proprietor who wanted to climb mountains! Because a man must do what he feels he must do; or he isn't a man. And no one, wife mother or sweetheart, has the right to make him into something that he wasn't meant to be.
