Five Days One Summer (1982)
Director: Fred Zinnemann
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A film which creates drama more out of gesture and nuance than dialogue, and employs a lush setting which overwhelms instead of pointing up the characters' emotions. Older, married doctor takes his young niece for a dirty week in the Swiss Alps in the 1930s. The mountain climbing footage is remarkable, but the plot gathers so little pace that when the girl runs to find out whether the doctor she loves or the handsome young guide she fancies has been killed in an avalanche, our interest in her dilemma is academic.Author: MB
