Trivia This film was released on 9.5mm by Pathescope around 1952, it was retitled as Drama on the Matterhorn. and was a 3-reeler, silent, running about 36min. as I recall the print quality was excellent and the photography great. As a drama the film, although silent, was eminently watchable, however, I added a music track which added greatly to the film's appeal. Well worth seeing if the opportunity arises. See more »
