This Week's Good Movie: "Man in the Wilderness" starring Richard Harris and John Huston

In the early 1800's, a group of fur trappers and Indian traders are returning with their goods to civilization and are making a desperate attempt to beat the oncoming winter. When guide Zachary Bass (Richard Harris) is injured in a bear attack, they decide he's a goner and leave him behind to die. When he recovers instead, he swears revenge on them and tracks them and their paranoiac expedition leader (John Huston) down. This film is a great adventure for those who love the mountains and the outdoors. There is a message of determination, the will to live and also forgiveness and peace. There is very little dialogue in this movie. That is not necessarily a negative. The viewer is free to interpret Zach Bass' thoughts and feelings as he struggles to survive in the wilderness.
