James Stewart in another classic western role about a man accused of murder. The fact was that the guys he killed has stolen his cattle.
Set in the Pacific Northwest, the cinematography is beautiful.
Ruth Roman plays a dance hall queen. Her part is conflicted. While she loves the Stewart character, she has blind allegiance to the evil John McIntyre, a faithfulness that will cause her a bullet at the film's end.
Sweet Corinne Calvet plays another love interest. With her thick French accent, it is often difficult to understand her.
Traveling across the Yukon, we see faithful players Connie Gilchrist and Kathleen Freeman, the latter from TV's Hogan's Heroes fame.
Walter Brennan plays Stewart's faithful sidekick. Unfortunately, his revelation of something ultimately leads to him taking a bullet as well. Ironically, McIntyre plays a part similar to what Brennan had done in 1940, when he won his 3rd Oscar for playing the corrupt Judge Roy Bean in The Westerner. After a while, all these westerns seem to blend in.
The usual finale of the shoot 'em up occurs. Predictable but still enjoyable to a degree.
