I was so on the fence about this adaptation of the very long-running stageplay (which I've never seen) that I watched until the mid-point, I guess the end of Act I.  I think Grey is very good and the sets are impressive but the movie never quite clicked with me.  Tom Jones co-wrote, and Michael Ritchie directed, about twenty-six years after the very different Downhill Racer.

Redford and Hackman have some sort of past, no, not that kind, in the world of skiing.  This is based on Oakley Hall's novel The Downhill Racers and directed by Michael Ritchie.  And it's the fifth Gene H. movie I've rejected, although the earliest released.
