Plot: Those familiar only with Johnny Horton's song hit North to Alaska might not be aware that the song came equipped with a movie. John Wayne and Stewart Granger star as a couple of lucky miners in Alaska Territory during the '98 gold rush. Since the Duke is the only man he can trust, Granger sends his pal to Seattle to fetch his fiance. Fabian appears in the cast (playing Granger's brother) primarily to attract teenage filmgoers; he gets to sing, of course, but he's better than usual. The film's centerpiece, an outsized brawl in the muddy streets of Nome, was repeated with several variations in Wayne's subsequent McLintock (1963). North to Alaska was based on a considerably more genteel stage play, Laszlo Fodor's {-Birthday Gift.} ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

North to Alaska

North to Alaska is a great John Wayne film. Lots of beautiful scenery, lots of sparks between Wayne and the beautiful Capucine, a believeable storyline. My teanagers will sit and watch this one with me. I especially love the loggers party scene where Wayne climbs a huge pole. Fascinating how loggers go up and down trees so easily. Love it!!!

My Mother wanted this and I watched before handing it on. Wow, I didn't remember it being so funny. And when John Wayne slid under the horse I don't think it was in the script. I think even he was surprised. It's worth watching.

A Gold Prospecter Strikes it Rich--Twice
Added 3/29/2009

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...
