What if we are the savages?

The Abominable Snowman 1957 AKA The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas Botanist, Dr. John Rollason (Peter Cushing, who played Winston Smith in “1984”), leaves his lovely, devoted wife Helen (Maureen Connell) behind to become part of an expedition that includes Dr. Tom Friend (Forrest Tucker) and others; each has their own agenda. The local Lama (Arnold Marle) knows what they seek and that each person in the expedition may find what he seeks. The encounter turns out a tad different from what you would suspect. We find we are up against survivors with more ability than planned on. Will they survive? If anyone should survive, will he/she have learned something? What about you? One year later, Forrest Tucker once again chanced the cold Alps to find “The Crawling Eye” (1958).
