dangerous journey in the fascinating lands of the north, 5 December 2002
8/10
Author: tmwest from S. Paulo, Brazil

CHAPTER 1 (written in December 2002):Wendell Corey is a Canadian Mountie, which captures Stewart Granger and together with an Indian girl (the beautiful Cyd Charisse) will bring him to justice, but he has to go through an almost impossible journey. On the way, Corey, apparently loses his mind. I saw this film when it was released, I was about 10 years old, and I used to consider it the best film I had ever seen. I wonder how I would react to it seeing it nowadays, but I'm sure I could not be that wrong. CHAPTER 2 (written in March 2006) I saw this film recently and it did not measure up to my expectations. I still think it is a good film, but what most impressed me the first time I saw it were the colors and the beauty of Canada. With time, all films were made in color and my geographical hunger for the North was satisfied by many other films about the same region and even further up.
