Third Man on the Mountain is a 1959 film from Walt Disney Pictures, based on James Ramsey Ullman's 1954 novel Banner in the Sky. It is directed by Ken Annakin, with the screenplay by Eleanore Griffin.Set in 1865, the film is about a Swiss teenager named Rudi Matt (James MacArthur), who has a dream to climb a mountain, "The Citadel", that has never been climbed before. Unfortunately, at the moment, he is a kitchen worker at a local inn. Rudi has a special reason: his father had died attempting to climb the mountain. He proves himself with the support of his girlfriend, Lisbeth Hempel (Janet Munro). He also comes to learn that there are things more important than mere glory.The film also stars Michael Rennie as John Winter, James Donald as Franz Lerner, Herbert Lom as Emil Saxo and Laurence Naismith as Teo Zurbriggen.The film and the novel were loosely inspired by the true story of the first ascent of the Matterhorn, which stands in for its fictional counterpart 'the Citadel" onscreen. During the filming, Walt Disney was so impressed by the Matterhorn's beauty that it led to the creation of the Matterhorn Bobsleds ride at Disneyland. | |

Arcadia: Justified when you think about it. All the rich Upper Class Twits that come in to climb and leave their money behind allows the town to be as Arcadia-like as it wishes. | |

Glory Seeker | |
| Third Man on the Mountain / int_3be94971 | comment |
The guide from a rival town though is probably even more of a Glory Seeker then Rudi, especially as he isn't a teenager. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Third Man on the Mountain / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: At first, Emil Saxo is a bit of a jerkass, being from a neighboring village. Also after Winter gets sick, Saxo abandons the group to try and be first to top the mountain himself, then gets himself injured and Rudi has to help him get back down. Rudi's refusal to abandon him mellows Saxo out greatly as a result. | |

Big Brother Instinct: Rudi's uncle takes care of his widowed sister (Rudi's mother). One reason he is hard on Rudi is that he knows that Rudi's ambitions are likely to hurt his sister. | |

Hollywood Tactics: Not as bad as some. But does anyone climb in the Alps with no gloves? Sounds like a good way to get your hand stuck to the ice until you have to tear it off. | |
