hi, I watched a film with my father recently and a few days later he died. I would love to find the film so I can remember our time watching it! It was oldish, a man was told he had 4 months to live. He went up to the mountains and helped people to mine some oil but another man and his crew where mining also, they battled with each other to mine the oil (in different places), the bad man (maybe called kirby)? damaged trucks and land to stop the others getting supplies up the mountain so in the end they used donkeys. It all ended as the huge dam in the mountains started to burst flooding the nice mans oil field. He then ran down the mountain and saved the lives of the other miners that were against him, he also found out he wasnt going to die and live in the mountains. HELP ME PLEASE!!

I believe the film you are after is called Cambell's Kingdom.
starring Dirk Bogarde 1957.
