Movie Review: A truly beautiful movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I have hardly seen anything more beautiful than the cold, snow-covered Yukon; to me, that's what sells this movie.
I did like the story: a crooked judge and his motley "law-upholders" take horses and try to take full control of the small town of Dawson, Yukon. In all the tragedy that takes place, the bitter Jeff Webster (James Stewart) is concerned about no one but himself. The turning point comes about when his sidekick Ben Tatum (Walter Brennan) is killed by the judge's henchmen. Is it then that Webster's attitude takes a polar change: he vows to avenge the people responsible for Tatum's life being ended. Again, the snow and mountains of northwest Canada are a "drawing card" for this movie, and it makes a person believe that it is worth the time and effort to take a trip to this far country. Enjoy the pretty scenery!
Movie Review: great western, great message
Summary: 4 Stars
ok, we all know these westerns have a message in them somewhere. often it is a message the supports some aspect of the american way of life. the message of this movie is that life isn't worth living unless you are part of something larger than yourself. jimmy stewart's character, jeff, finds this out the hard way. after a number of years as a loner, he finally realizes that he should he others protect their community and their dreams. but this only happens after a fair measure of abuse at the hands of some bullying petty criminals. after he comes out of it the bad guys get gunned down in short order. overall, really good and enjoyable. get it.Movie Review: A fine Jimmy Stewart western
Summary: 4 Stars
The American frontier shifts north to Alaska in this tightly paced Anthony Mann western, starring Jimmy Stewart as a hard-bitten, cynical cowboy loner who finds himself caught up in the Klondike gold rush, and with it, the struggle between lawless injustice and the budding new civility. Walter Brennan gets a choice role as Stewart's stammering, old-timer sidekick; John McIntyre is delicious as the unrepentant villain, Judge Gannon of the border town called Skagway, who runs the place as his own personal company town. Stewart plays his antihero to the hilt, and the on-location cinematography is impressive... A nice, taut, enjoyable film.Movie Review: Jimmy Stewart Western - DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
A wonderful Jimmy Stewart western, with a few unexpected twists and turns. The film was shot on location in Jasper National Park (Alberta), so the scenery is also a "star" in this movie. The storyline centers around a cattle drive and ensuing complications in the area of Dawson (Yukon Territory). It's not your every day western; a very interesting and entertaining movie.Movie Review: The Far Country
