Billy Pratt:
[sniffing Michelle's neck after she seats her at the table]
Oh, golly, you smell good!
Michelle:
Thank you. Whatever you're cooking smells good, too.
Billy Pratt:
I'd rather smell you.
Michelle:

Each of the characters could fill up a movie by themselves. Ernie Kovaks steals the show as the ultimate cheat and chiseler. John Wayne knows he is doing a parody of himself, plays it to the hilt and pulls it off brilliantly. Capucine is a classy lady. Even though she works in a bordello, you somehow know she's a nice girl. Even Clancy the shaggy dog has a great role. Johnny Horton's title hit, North to Alaska, is his best song ever. Classic cowboy movie fight scenes at the beginning and end.
A total hoot.
