It left a "lusting" impression on me.

This film must have been made with the minimum of budgets; it's devoid of any fancy, box-office appealing glitsy sets. But rather the setting was a cabin on top of a snowy mountain.

A married couple, played by Elaine Stewart and character actor Al Mulock; who also happens to own the cabin,was stranded during a big snowstorm with their friend played by John Derek.

I saw this movie when I was in my teens; the sensuality of Lenore, the cheating wife and the friend,Craig (John Derek) was indescribably heart-pounding.

No artsy nudity or profanity, just plain emotions of desires and sensuality. I love this movie.

It is the movie of Elaine Stewart

This movie seems to be very unnoticed. But it is really worth a view! An interesting atmosphere, a well directed plot and excellent actors. Most of all it scores with the pairing of Elaine Stewart and John Derek. It is their second movie together after "The Adventures of Haji Baba". And again the chemistry between these two beautiful people is incredible. In my opinion Elaine Stewart is one of the prettiest and sexiest women ever hit the screen. It is hard to understand why she did not become a bigger star!

Watch the scene in this movie where she is taking a bath in a old barrel. One of the prospectors come in and .... She really is a gifted actress. The scene is a highlight and every admirer of the movies from the 50s should know it.

As erotic and exciting as cold rice pudding

Having read the revues I was expecting something rather stirring and libidinous. However this turned out to be cliche ridden and rather laughable. The sight of Elaine Stewart bathing in a tub with Patrick Allen leering in from a window was a true highlight. I wonder if they made a continental version of this scene.

:Lust in the snow

John Derek produced and starred in High Hell a story of a mine on the top of a mountain and Derek's determination to get the gold out of it. The only problem is that some really crazy people built a town at the foot of the mountain and any real blasting will result in an avalanche. That part has me reaching, for the life of me I can't wrap my mind around that idea.

But Derek and a small crew have the gold fever and they plan to stay in a mountain cabin. Wouldn't you know it, Elaine Stewart at her most sultry is the wife of one of them and she's come up. Her part is kind of like the one Marilyn Monroe played in The Misfits. I'd hate to think Arthur Miller got the idea of his masterpiece from this drivel.

All the clichés with six men and a girl trapped on a mountain grow wild in this film.

Anecdotes
The events of making this movie was on the 1963 spoken word LP of ghost stories called Strange Truths' as told by Tom O'Neil. Which told of a time during filming when some of the crew had gotten lost, in a blizzard, on the mountain. The only thing that saved them was a mysterious climber, in a bright red jacket, appearing before them waving and shouting from about 10ft away. Though the crew couldn't hear they could feel a force opposite of the wind holding them back. When the storm abated they realized that not only would they have stepped off a cliff, had the red jacked climber not warned them, but he had also been standing in midair. When they told the villagers the story they were amazed when the people told them there had been a red jacketed climber who had recently fallen off that very cliff to his death and never seen again...until then. Suppose to be true.
