An American comedy, western-northern adventure; A story set in 1901 about two prospectors who got rich in the Nome gold rush. One sets off for Seattle to find the other's fiancée, but surprise is in store for them. This is heartwarming slapstick traditionally conceived to deliver light humour with action. The spiced-up romantic sequences make it a little uneven, but John Wayne is adept in delivering the light comedy machismo, shining as the gold prospector. Stewart Granger is strong support as his wily counterpart. Ernie Kovacs provides some dry amusement. Hathaway directs it with a good pace and conducts an impressive bar-room brawl.
