Third Man on the Mountain is a 1959 American family adventure film by Walt Disney Productions, directed by Ken Annakin and starring Michael Rennie, James MacArthur and Janet Munro. Set during the golden age of alpinism, its plot concerns young Swiss man Rudi Matt, who conquers the mountain that killed his father. It is based on Banner in the Sky, a James Ramsey Ullman 1955 novel about the first ascent of a mountain called the Citadel, and was televised under this name.

Production

The film was based on the 1954 novel Banner in the Sky by James Ramsey Ullman, who had written The White Tower. The novel was based on the real-life first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865. Captain John Winter was based on Edward Whymper but the young character of Rudi Matt was entirely fictional. The New York Times called it "a superb mountain climbing story for younger readers".

The film rights were bought by Walt Disney in July 1957. It was his fifth film shot in Britain, following Treasure Island, The Story of Robin Hood, The Sword and the Rose and Rob Roy: The Highland Rogue.

In January the lead role of Rudi was given to James MacArthur, who had just been in Disney's The Light in the Forest. Eleanore Griffin was assigned to write the script. The job of directing was given to Ken Annakin, who had made a number of films for Disney. David Niven was to play the other lead of Captain Winter. Annakin did a location reconnaissance in Switzerland and did pre-production work in Los Angeles.

Annakin wrote that "Jim was stocky, muscular, good-humoured — the adopted son of Helen Hayes — well educated and with an excellent sense of humour". In June 1958 Michael Rennie replaced Niven.

Janet Munro made the film as the second in a five-picture deal with Disney, the first being Darby O'Gill and the Little People.
