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.

Customer Review: North to alaska 1960
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 Recommended
