The Trap is a really, really, good movie. It has a great musical score to it, the movie is filmed out in the Canadian wildness, and on a film lot in London. Most movies from the 1960's is very colorful, and beautiful to watch. This movie reminded me of watching the old Disney movies like Charlie the Lonesome Cougar, or the old National Geographic footage.
The Trap is about a women named Eve (Rita Tushingham) who as a kid watched her family get killed by Indian's. From the traumatic event she don't talk at all, and has been since mute. She's took in by a store keeper and his wife, and their daughter. They raise Eve up to being somewhat their own maid, and go to person.
The French Canadian trapper Jean (pronounced John) La Bete (Oliver Reed), arrives in town to trade furs, get his money, & get a few other things. When La Bete goes to the store owner's house to get his money he's surprised at some of the stuff the keeper has in his house. After he get's his money, which the store keeper's wife is not to happy. Remembering La Bete was wanting a wife, she tells Eve to get herself all dressed up, and takes her down to the edge of town. She meets up with La Bete and tell's him Eve's story, saying she is young, strong, can sew & cook, and would make a good wife. The keeper's wife gets paid for Eve, and now Eve's told she has to go with La Bete. Eve's not happy, fights with La Bete, and get's told to stay in the canoe.
Eve's taught by La Bete how to hunt, trap, fish, and even cut wood. La Bete is a jerk, messy, throws food on the ground, and has no manners. Eve and La Bete have their clashes through out the movie as they live together. La Bete get's hurt & Eve nurse's him back to health. With La Bete being bed ridden Eve is left to hunt, trap, & keep everything going. Well how does the movie end? it's ah is well.....you have to watch this movie to find out the ending. Great movie hard to find on VHS & DVD, but well worth the money.
