The first 2019 fall movie in the
Classic Movie Series in Bigfork, “North to Alaska ” should be seen purely for fun. This
action comedy takes place during the Alaskan gold rush days of the late 1890s.
The stars were a strange combination that included basically someone for
everyone. John Wayne, came with his “built-in” audience, Fabian attracted teen
agers, Ernie Kovacs was appreciated by the comedy seeking audience and the
beautiful Capucine captivated the males. The movie made over 10 million
dollars, and gave the studio a nice profit. The Johnny Horton’s famous title
song was one of the year’s biggest hits. This movie classic will be shown by
Jack Nachbar at the Edge Theater in Bigfork. It will be accompanied by Jack’s
presentation providing a better understanding of the time period of the
movie. Date: Thursday September 12th. Time: 6:30PM.
Price: FREE of charge.
The film released at a perfect time Alaska became a state in 1959 and was still
in the news. Briefly it is about a prospector, named George who wanted a
bride. So he sends his partner Sam to Seattle
to pick her up and bring her back. Rather strange now, but back then when
claims needed protection and the presence of the owner, it was not that
outlandish.
However, the plot thickens when the prospective bride is already married. So George does a reasonable thing to him and resourcefully, he gets a replacement: a pretty substitute who is the hostess of the “henhouse” dance hall.
