well, this movie is really some waste of time... maybe they put a lot of effort into it, but don't watch it if you have better things you can watch :)

it's not all that bad, the stunts are sometimes good, but the whole thing is just not credible, the action is coming and going, the plot is not good, the facts are wrong... Yugoslavia has no border with Austria, the Austrian after-ski parties aren't like that at all, you would actually get you as* kicked if you do that kind of thing in Tirol... lots of things don't add up... then the characters are badly built up - no personality... no idea why Ian talks to his g/f all the time... well, you'll see for yourself...

Oh, and if there's someone doing the stuff these guys do, and succeeding every time on the first try... well, I quit snowboarding :)

I enjoyed this movie a lot. It is a great movie, if you consider that it was done in the '60s. The talented actors make up for some weaknesses of the movie. The fact that they follow the original play is a plus, and makes this movie actually look a bit like a play on the stage, but this adds to its beauty. Very good costumes, great mimics and very well chosen cast. They fit their roles excellent, and the persons they play are very well defined. I think everyone enjoying older movies should see this, especially if you love theater also. It was a lot better than I thought, and the actors act very natural and professional. Watch for the mimics and the voices. And great care for details.
