"the other side of the mountain" is a devastating and heartfelt take on love, grief, and refusing to give up on life.
Although first-time viewers may be quick to dismiss this 1975 movie as a sports movie or a corny romantic drama, i found it incredibly moving, even more so because of its being based on a true story.
On a more technical note, i found the acting, as well as the selection and placement of music, in this film to be incredibly effective.
I would highly recommend "the other side" to anyone interested, although viewers should be aware of its themes of death, serious injury, and, in one scene in particular, hospitals.
