     Jeremiah Johnson
1972  PG  WESTERN  1h 56min
CAST— Robert Redford, Will Geer, Allyn Ann McLerie, Stefan Gierasch, Charles Tyner, Delle Bolton
MUSIC— John Rubenstein, Tim McIntire  DIRECTOR— Sydney Pollack  BASED ON— Mountain Man (novel), by Vardis Fisher, Crow Killer: The Saga of Liver-Eating Johnson (book), by Raymond Thorp, Robert Bunker

     The tale of the mountain man, as told by Robert Redford. Redford plays the title character, a green young ex-soldier who’s decided to make a go of it in the frigid Rockies. Days become months for Redford as he discovers that the rugged life isn’t all bonfires and weenie roasts. Without the aid and support of various locals (including a grizzled, scene stealing Will Geer) his goose would have been cooked long ago. The story has its ups and downs but falls apart when it becomes a revenge picture. Still, gorgeous scenery and vivid characters make for a memorable film.
OUR RATING— ** ½
