The Trap (1966)

The Trap illustrates the fact that civilisation (of the period) was just as hard and uncaring as was the wilderness and that individuals, in either environment, needed strength of will and character just to survive. Both Tushingham and Reed are real Actors, not just celebrities playing themselves. They both can act without saying anything or with only very limited dialogue and in The Trap they have been able to give full reign to their capabilities. The scenery (the far North, all forest, lakes and snow) is magnificent and the photography does it justice at all times. It's a wonderful film, it will make you wring your hands, hold your breath and wipe your eyes.
