The Other Side of the Mountain Part 2

The Other Side of the Mountain Partis a 1978 film directed by Larry Peerce. It stars Marilyn Hassett and Timothy Bottoms. It is a sequel to The Other Side of the Mountain. It follows a recovered Jill Kinmont who goes to Southern California and meets a man named John, who she falls for. But as they learn later, there is more to deal with than just a new romance.

Vincent Canby of the New York Times was not impressed The first film, directed by Larry Peerce, who also directed the spinoff, was a slickly prefabricated bathtub of movie sentimentality, at the heart of which was a gallant young woman facing real handicaps. Part II is really a 30minute postscript to that story, blown up to featurelength by artificial plot problems and so many flashbacks to the first movie that the second becomes a sort of reverse trailer, a coming attraction for something thats already gone. ...Mr. Peerces direction suggests a certain amount of desperation. You can almost hear him asking, What can I do to make things interesting?
