"Hunting, cast of "Boy," played by Winthrop Rolfe, and "Dog," played by Teddy. Boy, walks with Dog through the forested mountainside, gazes at views over the alley, drinks water from a rushing stream, and kneels to shoot at birds." Notes by (NHF) Chris Reed and Chris Castiglia, June 2013
"Amateur filmmaker, cinema historian and railway engineer H.A.V. Bulleid presents the tale of Percival Pond, keen stamp collector and single man looking for marriage. Together with his dog Pliny, Percy is seeking his ideal woman. After his efforts to persuade a girl he is dating to dye her hair blonde fail miserably, even going so far as to post her a bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide, Percy meets Madeleine. Percy then continues his fetishistic quest with his new beau. At the Pond family home, Percy voyeuristically watches Madeleine pass a series of character tests, unwittingly for her. Percy scores her actions and traits on a character chart. After a death-defying drive in Madeleine's break-less car, which she handles coolly, and eating asparagus with the family, Madeleine passes the tests and is rewarded with an offer of marriage" (EAFA Database).

“Uno della Montagna è l’esaltazione della lotta dell’uomo contro la natura. La montagna (è questa la leggenda) colpisce con la morte tutti quelli che tentano conquistarla. A valle gli uomini e gli animali vivono nella più catastrofica miseria, mentre al di là della sommità vi è un “Alpe” intatto: è necessario trovarne il valico. Esso offrirà alle popolazioni affamate nuove e più fertili,. Due giovani animosi, attraverso non poche peripezie, tentano l’impresa ed uno di essi, più coraggioso e più generoso dell’altro, che abbandona il compagno in un momneto difficile, porta a termina la scalata fra l’esultanza dei valligiani. La vicenda è animata da una delicata storia d’amore.”
“One of the Mountain is the exaltation of the struggle of man against nature. The mountain (this is the legend) punish by death all those who attempt to conquer it. In the valley, men and animals live in the most catastrophic misery, while beyond the summit there is an intact “Refuge”: it is necessary to find the pass. It will offer new and more fertile land to the starving populations. Two courageous young men, through many vicissitudes, attempt the enterprise and one of them, more courageous and generous than the other, who abandons his companion in a difficult moment, completes the climb to the exultation of the valley dwellers. The episode is animated by a delicate love story."
