Tonally inconsistent western about two trappers (Heston, Keith) looking for a mythical valley where they hope to find their fortune in beaver furs. Along the way, they pick up an Indian woman (Racimo) who is running away from a mean chieftain (Macht) of a rival tribe.
The cinematography and location shots are actually quite good. But the movie can't decide if it's a dark drama (there's a lot of grisly deaths here) or a fanciful adventure. Charlton Heston and Brian Keith play off each other well.
