Third Man on the Mountain is a 1959 American Walt Disney Productions film set during the golden age of alpinism about a young Swiss man who conquers the mountain that killed his father. It is based on Banner in the Sky, a James Ramsey Ullman novel about the first ascent of the Citadel, and was televised under this name. The movie inspired the Matterhorn Bobsleds attraction at Disneyland Park.

Production
The film was made on location in Switzerland with Gaston Rébuffat as the head of the mountain second unit photography. The film was shot in the summer of 1958 in Zermatt, a location that Walt Disney was familiar with from his ski trips. The studio portions of the film were done in London.
The extraordinary difficulty of making this film on the Matterhorn was chronicled in the "Perilous Assignments" episode of Walt Disney Presents.
The musical score for Third Man on the Mountain was composed by William Alwyn and features the original song "Climb the Mountain" by Franklyn Marks.
