Movie Reviews of North to Alaska
Movie Review: John Wayne in a fun Western with a very light heart
Summary: 5 Stars
It is not hard to enjoy this light hearted Western. John Wayne plays successful Alaskan gold miner Sam McCord. His partners are the brothers George and Billy Pratt (played, respectively by Stewart Granger and Fabian). George has just lost the woman he was planning to marry. Sam is gone to a kind of civilization at a place called "The Hen House". The women there are more along Sam's type. A favorite saying of Sam's is that a wife is a woman who concentrates on making one man miserable than a lot of men happy. But while he is enjoying the company of several lovelies in comes the exotic Michelle (played by the beautiful Capucine), a French woman from New Orleans.
Sam decides she would be perfect replacement love for George and invites her to come to Alaska. During a daylong event with his old lumberjack buddies, Michelle (whom Sam calls Angel) becomes really taken with Sam and gets some signals that he cares for her, too. Sam passes out from all the beer going around and as she cares for him she finds the two tickets for passage on the boat to Alaska.
Well, the whole mess takes off from there and involves more misunderstandings about love, a swindler trying to take the gold mine from the partners (played with wonderful slime by Ernie Kovacs). Of course, by the end of a movie like this, all mysteries must be solved, all wrongs must be righted, and the right guy has to get the right girl.
Enjoy!
