Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Brucey D This movie starts with an unpromising premise and proceeds with imperfect production values, but to my surprise the end result is fairly gripping. The acting talents of Reed and Tushingham drag what could otherwise have been pretty stolid daytime TV fodder (think Hallmark TV in more contemporary context) into a different league. Reed's performance as La Bête, the earthy, rum-swilling 'beast' with a (normally hidden) softer side is almost playing to type, but he makes a pretty good fist of it. Tushingham's mute girl is played with great expression too; and their primal struggles to survive in the wilderness are the backdrop against which their relationship slowly develops.I'm sure not everyone will find this film a '9' or a '10' , but it is well worth watching; recently screened on British TV channel 'talking pictures' it made absorbing viewing. This was despite the fact that they could only manage to show a fairly iffy transfer from a grubby print to 4:3 video, which meant the film lost much of its original visual impact in widescreen.

HarleyGuy This movie fills you up and entertains you. The characters have all the depth even in very few words. Few other movies can capture the romance poised against a backdrop of very harsh realities of life on the frontier. You will find yourself believing in what you see could have been a real story of someone who went to make a new life in a new place. This movie is a very hidden gem and I think it tells a story every bit as good as the best movies made. Timeless and classic.

firelthook Oliver Reed, and Rita Tushingham were both outstanding in this film. I found it both a touching and thrilling movie. It's amazing what a wooden bowl and wooden utensils can do to a story line, one of my favorite all time movies by these two great British actors ! The location, and scenery was beautiful. It's hard to say more about this movie without spoiling it. there are so many unworthy movies replayed on T.V. these days, This is a movie I could watch over and over again. Filmed in the troubling times of the 1960's,it takes you to a time in our past that was although harder, but a much simpler way of life!I have been trying to find this movie on D.V.D., if anyone knows where I can get a copy please let me know.

toppear Here's what I learned at 10 years old from "The Trap", watched on VHS TV almost once a year (subsequent experience with fathers and men confirmed it all): If you're female, you're screwed. The world is indeed a trap, and your emotional life--not to even mention your physical life--will be a living hell of emptiness. Unless he rapes you--then you better recognize a good thing, girl, and crawl back to him! Good men are hard to find! I watched this film later as a more reasonable adult to see if I'd just been in a bad mood all those years before. I didn't see a more comforting message at all, save perhaps this small caveat: Ladies, you are more powerful than you may seem, and he is LITERALLY nothing without you. If life provides you with any kind of a choice, then choose wisely.Performances are powerful as stated before, but Rita Tushington's the real prize here, in every way. Her look of betrayed hopelessness should be patented as a solvent--it'd strip paint. He's just a schmuck with a fragile ego--a violent house of cards ready to be fled at the first opportunity. As such, Reed's adequate.Okay, so maybe I'm bitter. But I believe some things should NOT be shown to children , and this is one of those films. Over half the world's population's hearts will break, and after all these years, I still don't know which half I'm in.
