MOUNTAIN MEN 1980 (SONY)

Well made western.

Charlton Heston and Brian Keith star in this classic film about two grizzled men who trap beavers, guzzle booze and sleep with Indian squaws. The two are in search of an ideal land where there are so many beavers they'd never have to worry about making money again.

Keith and Heston make a good pair for this film as they both look the parts they play. Heston falls for a squaw named Running Moon and then finds himself in constant war with an Indian Brave named Heavy Eagle.

The Grand Teton scenery is well worth seeing andd is a big plus in this film. It is also the final film of the great actor Victor Jory who plays Iron Belly.

If you like shoot them up westerns, then this may nor be your cup of tea, but if you like realistic portrayals of Mountain Men then you might like this. I would recommend it.
