Movie Review: A Gold Prospecter Strikes it Rich--Twice
Summary: 5 Stars
Johnny Horton's song, NORTH TO ALASKA, introduces this flick. Sam McCord (John Wayne) and his two partners find gold and strike it rich. McCord is lavish giving his money to others. He is on top of the world, and everybody seems to be his friend. This comedy is full of romantic dialogue, fistfights, and beautiful scenes of nature. The men, being former loggers, compete in a tree-trunk climbing contest.
A saloon girl, Capucine is, in time, romantically pursued by all three men in the partnership--either seriously or in order to make the others jealous. They each get silly trying to woo her, especially the 17 year-old. For her part, she has no plans to settle down, and wants to return to Seattle and to her former life. But then things start to happen. An interloper attempts to make a counterclaim to the three-partners' gold mine, and a local judge must make a decision. She begins to think things over and...
Movie Review: What are friends for?
Summary: 5 Stars
Partners (John Wayne, Stewart Granger, and Fabiano Anthony Forte) who share an interest in a gold mine near Nome Alaska must fend off all sorts of claim jumpers and worse. In the middle of the struggle we realize the definite lack of available women. Due to the riggers of protecting the mine Stewart Granger (George) asks John Wayne (Sam) to retrieve his intended from Seattle.
John Wayne intends to fulfill the contract but finds a small hitch. The intended is already married. However everyone knows that one Frenchie is like another and if you can replace a departed pet then why not a departed ... well you get the idea.
On his return things get a little more complicated.
Who are the good people and who is the bad?
So watch the movie and see who gets the mine and who if anyone gets the girl.

Summary: 5 Stars
This rousing comedy-adventure set in the Alaskan gold rush finds buddies Sam (John Wayne 1907-1979) and George (Stewart Granger 1913-1993) hitting the mother lode in Nome . George then asks Sam to fetch his sweatheart Jennie in Seatle . But when sam discovers that she has married someone else he concocts a plan to bring George a new love , inviting a beautiful dancer (Capucine 1931-1990) to be Jennies replacement . Even though "North To Alaska" is a rousing western , it was a dramatic change for John Wayne as an actor . More famous for throwing punches than punch lines , he was given a change to also show his lighter side and play for laughs . Made on place In Alska and Washington .Razor sharp transfer and a movie your keep for many years . Higly RecommendedMovie Review: North to Alaska
Summary: 5 Stars
this is one of John wayne's ventures into comedy. The movie is based on Johnny Horton's song where Sam McCord and George Pratt go to Alaska during the gold rush and strike it rich, while George pines away for his Sweet Jenny. That's where the similarity ends. In the movie, Sam, played by John Wayne, goes back to Seattle to bring Jenny back, while George, and Brother Billy, remain behind to build a honeymoon home for Jenny. Sam arrives at Seattle only to find Jenny married to another man. Sam has a few drinks and convinces a saloon showgirl to go back with him, as a bride for George. Then the fun begins.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.
