Question
Would like to know the name of an old film placed in the early to mid 1800's.  A mute girl from a wealthy family (she is about 18/19) is getting married.  She leaves by stagecoach to meet her groom and the stagecoach is seiged by Indians.  The Indians sell her to a mountain man who trades with the Indians.  He put her to hard work.  At some point he is mauled by a bear, and his leg becomes infected.  He asks her to chop off his leg, which she does reluctantly.  At some point she is rescued, but after being reunited with her family, she runs back to her mountain man.
Any ideas?

Answer
Hello Dianna,

This was an excellent and rather underrated film from 1966 called "THE TRAP". It was a UK-Canada co-production and starred Oliver Reed as the mountain man and Rita Tushingham as the mute girl.

Glad to be of help. Cheers.......Mel.
