Fred Zinnemann waited 40 years to make this surprisingly lifeless film, a major disappointment from the acclaimed director of HIGH NOON and FROM HERE TO ETERNITY. In 1932 Sean Connery travels to the Swiss Alps with Betsy Brantley, a young woman he says is his wife. While on a dangerous
mountain climb with a young Swiss guide, Lambert Wilson, in whom Brantley has taken an interest, Connery flashes back to reveal the true nature of his relationship with "his wife."
