SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

vickie_322 Like most who have posted here, I was haunted by this movie through the years after seeing it (over 40 years ago where I watched it over and over again on t.v.....it must've been shown in some sort've special week long presentation or suchlike....) The song would run through my head from time to time ("When I'm a man, I'll take me a wife, we'll live in a house on the hill, the hill...and she will have diamond and pearl"). I thought I was the only one to be so charmed, and was touched to read of other's finding this a magic film. It would be nice to see it again, and see what I think now....or maybe not!! I hope Mr. Reed knew of it's impact on people.

daphx I saw this movie one late night on TV in the early 70's while living in NYC. The image of Eve and Jean La Bete discovering themselves set against the Northwest wilderness never left me. Over the years this movie kept creeping back into my head like few other movies have. It is not the best produced movie ever made, but it tells a story that is unique, simple and compelling. Reed brings a "bull in the china-shop" masculinity to the character Jean La Bete that at first conflicts with, but then blends with the very subtle beauty and inner strength of Eve, played perfectly and silently by Rita Tushingham. (Tushingham also plays the adult daughter of Laura and Dr. Zhivago in Dr. Zhivago.) I didn't see "The Trap" again until a few years ago when I came across a cheap used copy online. This is a very unusual love story. "The Trap" might catch you like it did me years ago.

nbruinenberg It's been at least 30 years ago, when I saw this movie for the first time. Every 4-5 years or so it was repeated on German TV, never on Dutch TV or in the theater :-( All of that time I've been searching for it, until my daughter said, why don't you try Google? Why couldn't I think of that myself (LOL) I just love the story, the way of living in those days, although it was harsh, en the end of the movie (I'm a sucker for happy endings) And of course Oliver Reed :-) Now that I found the movie, I can look if I can get it on DVD, or videotape, so I can play it whenever I feel like it.With love, Nanny (Netherlands)

Farmersdaughter2 Having been lucky enough to find this movie in a box of thrown away tapes (actually among about 30 thrown out at a dump sight I work at, and they are in excellent condition!!!) I have just watched it (twice) over the weekend. I am like most people who have reported on "The Trap", I loved it and remembered it from probably 35 years ago, and always wanted to see it again. I was so glad to be able to watch it again and will definitely keep the movie.The thing that no one else has mentioned but I think I saw in the movie was how much Jean cared for his mother as he mentioned her several times, often sang the song that she taught him and even from the start respected Eve as a woman. Here was a lonely Quebecois trapper, with no social skills, who had not been with a woman in years, paid $1000 (I would imagine like $500,000 today) for what he expected a wife would give him. He was much bigger that Eve in height and weight and could have easily over-powered her, even when she held a hatchet or knife ... but he still respected her fears.I wish this movie could have continued for another half an hour so we could have seen what being together as a couple could have brought them. As far as visual effects, etc. for a film made in 1966 I think it was done exceptionally well. Someone mentioned that the "bad natives" were portrayed by white actors and the good by real native people ... I am sure a sign of the times. I am sure I saw a cameo of Chief Dan George at the start ... I must look into this.This is the first review of a movie I have ever made ... hope it was okay.
