VHS Movie Reviews of North to Alaska
Movie Review: Oh, that song
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie starts with such a classic song. The movie is one of my more favorite John Wayne movies. Classic stuff.Movie Review: Typical John Wayne
Summary: 3 Stars
John Wayne had a knack for making movies that were just fun to watch. This is one of them.Movie Review: A rollicking fun filled John Wayne movie--one of my all time favorites.
Summary: 5 Stars
A great movie for just relaxing. John Wayne and his co-stars Stewart Granger and Cappucine have great on screen chemistry. Fabian, although not a great actor, pulls his role off as a clumsy hormone-raging teenager. Set during the gold rush days when Alaska was booming, the movie captures your adventurous side and lets you imagine what it would have been like to dream about having all the gold a man or woman could want. Movie Review: North To Alaska
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie is an oldie and a goldie. Very good, entertaining movie. I am a John Wayne fan and this is a different type of movie for him. He and the other members of the cast did a great job.Movie Review: North to Alaska
Summary: 5 Stars
Received it quickly and in good condition. A delight to watch again after so many years.
Summary of North to Alaska
John Wayne and Stewart Granger strike it rich in this sprawling, brawling comedy-adventure set in the rowdy heydey of the Alaskan gold rush. When prospectors Sam McCord (Wayne) and George Pratt (Granger) finally hit the mother lode, George asks Sam to go to Seattle and fetch his sweetheart, Jennie, but she's already married someone else. Heartbroken for his buddy's sake, Sam visits a saloon, meets dancer (Capucine) and invites her back to Nome as Jennie's replacement - the plan goes perfectly until Sam falls in love with her too!Even people habitually hostile to John Wayne movies tend to cast an indulgent eye on this rumbustious comedy-Western--partly because the Alaska gold rush setting seems more exotic than, say, Texas or Arizona, and because there are no Indians to discriminate against and no macho gunplay to fret about. As for John Wayne as all-purpose icon of male chauvinism, Big Sam McCord (the Duke) spends much of North to Alaska in a state of growing discombobulation because he has fallen in love with, and is thoroughly flummoxed by, "Angel" (Capucine), the woman he's brought back from Seattle to marry his heartsick partner George (Stewart Granger). Henry Hathaway directs in a broader vein than usual, but he hits pay dirt. Even Fabian, the latest pop music idol to be dragooned into supporting the elder roughnecks, is fun, and Ernie Kovacs is droll casting as chief "villain." --Richard T. Jameson
