Somewhat erroneously titled,.this film seems to be someone's version of a mashup film circa the 1930s?. Yes, we do start out at the magnificent Mount Rainier, but then once the climb is done about 5 mins into the film (and me left wondering how they're going to the rest of the time), the film jerkily edits to a whiewatering scene. Because of the stock and titles, this was obviously from another movie. It doesn't stop there, because 30 seconds later we're in Banff! Then Sugar Loaf Mountain (in Spain I believe) and then some other outdoor locations. The reason why these were spliced together…
