Five Days One Summer (1982)

 

Ageing doctor Douglas takes his beautiful young mistress on an alpine walking holiday only to find that she is falling for the charms of a dashing tour guide. 

From memory: Psychological melodrama goes a bit far combining the story of a complex and dubious love relationship with the thrills of dangerous mountaineering, but is mildly entertaining, if you can bear it.

Halliwell*: "Superbly photographed and crafted mountain movie,akin to the German epics of the early thirties.. Alas, the content is very thin."

Maltin**: "...story doesn't come off, despite impeccable production. Slow, ethereal, ultimately unsatisfying."
