Hager was executive producer of the 1966 spaghetti western UN DOLLARO TRA I DENTI / FOR A DOLLAR IN THE TEETH. He also produced THE MAN WHO SKIED DOWN EVEREST (1975), about a Japanese skier who ultimately dreamed of literally skiing Mt. Everest. He planned to ski some 8,000 feet down an icy glacier at a 40 to 45 degree angle, from the 26,000 foot level near the summit. This documentary chronicles this incredible feat and the tremendous task of climbing Everest itself. The narrator reads from the diary that the skier personally kept.  Documentary (Features) 1975: THE MAN WHO SKIED DOWN EVEREST - Producer (w. F.R. Crawley & Dale Hartleben) 1 nomination, 1 Award
