⭐ Featured Review

Good human interest film.
by yenlo β€’ 1999-09-17

"Even though about three quarters of the way through, this movie begins to run out of steam it still is an exceptional film. The ski equipment and clothing were dead on for the time period and adds much to the picture. Even though it was partly about skiing a person watching this doesn't have to be a skier or have ever skied to enjoy it. Superior to the sequel. A must see as far as human interest movies go...."

During filming, news reached Jill Kinmont that her cousin Jimmy Lewis, who had visited her during her hospitalization nineteen years before, suffered a spinal cord injury in a fall and was paralyzed.
