More about ex-skier Jill Kinmont (to avoid the boring repetition of the title, which is symptomatic of 1970s sequelitis, couldn't they at least have called it Another Side of the Mountain, or maybe Top o' the Mountain, or maybe Another Day, Another Mountain?), but the new information remains just as bashfully discreet about her physical discomforts. This wheelchair romance concentrates on her tender emotional state, and, needless to say, nary a squeamish nor a kinky thought intrudes upon its sentimental mood. Actually, despite all its mush, it sets a very high standard for screen romances: the heroine's neck-down paralysis serves as an excuse to bring out the self-consciousness, secrecy, shame, doubt, and vacillation that ought to be, but are not, perfectly normal ingredients in any love story. Larry Peerce, again directing with a careful attention to the commonplace, nicely captures the ambience of pine trees, checkered shirts, and Coors beer in the ranching community of Bishop, Calif. With Marilyn Hassett, Timothy Bottoms, Nan Martin. (1978) — Duncan Shepherd
