<p>COMBAT! “Mountain Man” 1964</p><p>Like most ski movies it makes no sense. If the Wehrmacht had only learned to side step better they may have won the war. Interesting ACL repair scene too.</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR-7-APZWvs Skiing starts at 27:00 & 38:50</p><p>From jodavidsmeyer .com :</p><p>Producer Gene Levitt, wanting to take advantage of Pierre Jalbert’s Olympic-class skiing ability, proudly announced that Pierre was going ski in a Combat! episode set in the mountains. Pierre explained, “Hey, there’s no mountains in Normandy, pal.” To which Levitt replied, “It’s okay, Pierre. This is just TV.” Of course, nobody bothered to explain how a Cajun growing up in bayou country learned how to snow ski. Pierre recalls, “The German skiing after me was Bob Beattie, the manager of the American Olympic ski team. He call still be seen as a commentator for ABC.”</p><li>U.S. Olympic ski coach Bob Beattie plays the German skiing behind Caje. </li><li>Snow locations were filmed in Squaw Valley, California, site of the 1960 Winter Olympic Games. </li><li></li><li>Wiki on Pierre Jalbert: </li><li>“He was both Canada’s Junior and Senior National Ski Champion. In 1948, he was the Captain of Canada’s Olympic Ski Team at St. Moritz, but due to breaking his leg in a fall during a practice run, he never skied in the Games. After the Olympics, he was involved with the National Film Board of Canada.
