MOTHER LODE (1982) - CHARTON HESTON TEAMS WITH SON FRASER TO DIRECT AND PRODUCE A BEAUTIFULLY SHOT CANADIAN ADVENTURE

 


Featuring excellent aerial and underwater photography, this oft forgot Canadian adventure is a labor of love from actor-director Charton Heston and his son producer-writer Fraser. It shows all over the film. A gorgeous looking Kim Basinger stars with Italian actor Nick Mancuso (who starred in many Canadian films) as a pair of adventurers searching for a lost plane and their friend who was flying it. They encounter a crazy old Irishman who not only wants to prevent them from finding the plane but also from finding gold and silver mines he has stashed. A very interesting if not sometimes muddled flick that occupies it's own special little place in cinematic history. 3.0 stars/5
