Jeremiah Johnson (DVD)

Jeremiah Johnson (1972) starring Robert Redford. Loner Jeremiah Johnson (Redford) wants nothing but to be a mountain man. However, the solitude he seeks proves harder to realize than he had imagined. He acquires an Indian wife and a surrogate son, and builds a house for them to live in. The second half of the film is unsatisfactory, however, and his career as an Indian fighter is glossed over in a montage; the film drifts to a inconclusive end. Grade: B
