Summary: "Skin that grizz, Pilgrim, and I'll bring ya another."
Comment: The Rocky Mountains. They're beautiful. Yet there are these little drawbacks: like blizzards; life-threatening cold; wild critters; haunting isolation. And two centuries ago, there were several Indian tribes who didn't look all too kindly on their ancient lands being infiltrated by trappers, traders, and eventually settlers. So it's not exactly Paradise, yet still appealing to a young man named Jeremiah Johnson, who is fed up with 'civilization' (for unknown reasons) and seeks a solitary existence up in the mountains. Nice premise for a story--even a film; enter JEREMIAH JOHNSON.
This film is the wonderful collaboration between Robert Redford and the late, great director Sydney Pollack. Redford furnishes character--from a naive 'pilgrim' who almost perishes in the harsh wilderness, to a hardened killer--Pollack furnishes setting and unbelievably gorgeous vistas. This is a beautiful film--yet like the Rockies themselves it is also brutal and hard. I also enjoyed several of the other characters, and their interactions with Redford's character; Will Geer (better known as Grandpa in the TV series 'The Waltons') and Stefan Gierasch (who we get to meet buried up to his mustaches in the dirt) particularly come to mind. These actors lend rich authenticity to the mountain man persona, and they are darn fun to watch.
And like the Rockies, this movie also has some drawbacks. The story, at times, flowed unevenly--almost awkwardly--and much of the music was just plain hokey. Yet these slight flaws are not enough to take away from JEREMIAH JOHNSON--a grand tale of a mountain man turning into a legend.

Editorial Reviews:
|
After they first worked together on the 1966 film This Property Is Condemned, director Sydney Pollack and Robert Redford continued their long-lasting collaboration with this 1972 drama set during the mid-1800s, about one man's rugged effort to shed the burden of civilization and learn to survive in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. Will Geer is perfectly cast as the seasoned trapper who teaches Jeremiah Johnson (Redford) how to survive against harsh winters, close encounters with grizzly bears, and hostile Crow Indians. In the course of his adventure, Johnson marries the daughter of a Flathead Indian chief, forms a makeshift family, and ultimately assumes a mythic place in Rocky Mountain folklore. Shot entirely on location in Utah, the film boasts an abundance of breathtaking widescreen scenery, and the story (despite a PG rating) doesn't flinch from the brutality of the wilderness. --Jeff Shannon
