The Trap (1966)


A fur trapper takes a mute girl as his unwilling wife to live with him in his remote cabin in the woods.

Stirring marital drama with two strong lead performances and beautifully shot in the original Canadian locations.

Halliwell (no stars): "Primitive open air melodrama with good action sequences; well made but hardly endearing."

Maltin ***: "Vivid 1890s tale, well photographed by Robert Krasker."

An odd but interesting little movie.

Odd indeed, and not politcally correct by today's standards, I suppose:-)
