Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jean-Claude Killy was a triple Olympic gold medalist in 1968; this was his only dramatic lead role. Hollywood's athlete-to-actor pipeline was weird in the 70s.
Shot during the brief window when 'ski cinema' was a micro-genre—Downhill Racer, Hot Dog... The Movie, this oddity. The 70s really thought mountains were sexy.
