Greetings Jim,

    Recalling way back to my grade wood shop school days, I made a wooden
laminated cutting board which makes a lousey bowl, but I degress. Anyway
we heated cooking oil to just about smoking temp then rubbed in two or
three coats of it, letting the oil soak in then wipeing the surface dry
between coats. hope this helps.

Regards,

Terry Smith

The first one is probably "A Man In The Wilderness" starring Richard Harris?

Only partly the Hugh Glass story as they haul a ship over the mountains.

Don't know on the second there have been so many.

The one with John Houston playing an Andrew Henry type character, and the Hugh
Glass character named "Bass",is entitled "Man in the Wilderness."

First off, some FYI.

   http://us.imdb.com/     is a Internet Movie DataBase.

I found it ( the Internet Movie DataBase) through infoseek(one of the
search engines to help you try to find things on the Internet), and when I
went to it I did a search on Oliver Reed. In 1966 he did a movie called
"The Trap" which might also have been known as "The Mad Trapper", about a
French Canadian trapper who wants to buy a wife.

I didn't do a search on the second movie, but It starred Richard Harris,
who gets mauled by a griz and is left to die, but doesn't. I think that
it's either "Man in the wilderness" or "A man called Horse" (I figure
someone will know and if they don't the the movie database should cover it.

   http://us.imdb.com/     is a Internet Movie DataBase.

1971, "Man in the Wilderness",
Richard Harris is Zachary Bass, and
John Huston is Captain Henry.

I cheated, I went back and did another search.

The first one I think your referring to is "Man in the Wilderness" staring
Richard Harris and John Huston.  It appears to be VERY loosly based on the
Glass incident with the bear and being left alone to die by Bridger and
_________(what's his name).  Watched it off and on last night.

Can't help on the second one.

"The Trap" with Oliver Reed is one of my favorite wilderness movies.  However,
the next time you watch it pay particular attention to the scene when the
trapper's wife is running through the woods with her lantern.  You can see the
electric cord disturbing the snow behind her.

The title "The Mad Trapper" reminds of the Charles Bronson movie "Death Hunt"
where Bronson was mistaken for a killer that murdered trappers for the gold in
their teeth as he was chased through the Northwest Territories by Lee Marvin.
Another epic.

Speaking of picking out small visual mistakes in films, "Last of the
Mohicans" is a favorite of mine, but...

Toward the end of the film, just after Maqua cuts Uncas' throat and throws
his body over the cliff, Nathaniel is shown running through a passage in the
"rocks" - rocks which ripple when bumped (left side of the screen) like a
piece of painted canvas!

The Oliver Reed film is "The Trapper" and takes place in Canada, but I
forgot the time period.  I'd like to say Mid-19th c. because of some of the
firearms used.  It was made about 1968.  An interesting film, but not
necessarily visually appealing.

Correction.  The film is "The Trap" and is available on video.  Any video
store could look it up, unless there's a good website.
