Jeremiah Johnson

Robert Redford   d/ Sidney Pollack

Interesting treatment of the time whites first ventured into the mountain West seeking pelts and freedom from 'civilization.'

This was written by John Milius so there was a bit too much macho bullshit but the  interactions between whites and natives were pretty well handled. Scenery was spectacular of course and Redford was, as always, solid if unimaginative.

Not bad for hollywood product.
