What was this film?!?

I’ve tried googling this film so many times and never had an answer. I remember watching a film when I was a child (would have been early 90s maybe but I think it was an old film then) about a group of people who are lost up a mountain. One of the group is an opera singer with a super loud voice and I think it’s known that he could shout for help and someone would hear but that it would wreck his voice forever. At the end of the film they decide he has to do the big shout, he does it, ruins his voice and then they discover a group of rescuers were already on their way and he ruined his voice for nothing. Did I dream this film?!!

I think you might have! When I started reading your post I thought of Fitzcarraldo, but no that's not right. Could it have been a TV play rather than a film perhaps?

I think it might be broken journey! I’ll have to watch it now to see if it’s the right one.

I'm pretty sure it is, I haven't seen it but the script lines up with the plot you mentioned (ctrl+f for 'voice'): https://subslikescript.com/movie/Broken_Journey-40189

Are you sure it isn't the same one where they are on a plane and crash into a mountain then they get hungry and start eating the dead people's buttocks? That was an epic film Alive I think it was called, though I don't remember an opera singer, perhaps I was too enthralled with the buttock eating to remember it

No, Alive is based on a true story, and it's a team of rugby players in South America, whose plane crashes in the Andes. They justify the cannibalism on the grounds that as Catholics, they have eaten flesh every time they take the sacrament. At least, that's in the book. Can't remember if I've seen the film. Pretty sure there are no opera singers in it, though.
