Way Up North

Remembered Johnny Horton's legendary song," North to Alaska"?


So memorable. So nostalgic!


I remembered watching this movie as a young boy. Perhaps I was too 'young' to know the more matured aspects of the movie;particularly of hen houses and mesdemoiselles; the love triangle between Sam(John Wayne) and Stewart Granger (George Pratt) and why the handsome Fabian was swooning head over heels over the charming Capucine (Angel).


Now, at a much older age, I do see those aspects and they are as evergreen as when it first burst upon the screen, I surmise.


This movie really showcases the beauty of Capucine.

Simple plot and fun while it lasted.
