Post subject: Need Help on a Movie Title
Posted: 26 Oct 2009 16:23 pm
Been trying to locate an old movie in the video store, but I can't remember the title.
Hopefully someone has seen it, and can give me the title.
It's been several years since I saw it.
The movie was based on a true story. A prospector from Alaska, met a woman in the states,and married her. She and her son went back to Alaska with him up in the back country, where his mine was located. At the end of the season, when it was time to get out before winter closed the waterways - the husband and boy were up at the mine, when an earthquake hit, tearing down the only bridge across a gorge. The man and boy were injured and found by trappers, and hauled back to civilization, while the wife was forced to fend for herself thru the winter, including setting her broken leg, and delivering her own baby, killing her own food, etc.
The next spring, to all of their surprise, they discovered that they are all still alive when they were reunited.
I don't remember the actors, but if anyone remembers this movie, I'd appreciate it if you can give me the title.
Thanks!

Certainly some similarity - but that's not the one.
Thanks Foo.

BB, I'm not sure this will work, but you can log on to IMDb.com and put some keyword descriptions into the search box, and it may pull it up from its "plot" and "synopsis" databases. Good luck.
