I thought this was a good, casual, cold winter day movie to watch with the family, and for any age. True, there is no heavy plot, but nothing so graphic, violent or vulgar you have to be worried what might happen next. Which is nice for a change! And it was just suspenseful enough to hold your interest thru to the end. I recommend it for good, simple entertainment. Some of the acting was stiff, but that fit with the characters for the most part. William Devane and Patty Duke are always great, and can compensate for any younger, less experienced acting. By the end of the movie you really feel the agony of spending so much time in the freezing cold. Also made me think about how unprepared I would be under those circumstances.
