Long time fan of John Wayne, and this is a fun movie. Have it on DVD and purchased the blu-ray to upgrade quality of viewing. Nicely done transfer for 1960 picture quality, but the 4.0 dolby soundtrack is flawed. The voices move from side to side too often and can be distracting. I recommend changing the audio to mono to overcome it. I would still recommend this for fans of John Wayne....good old fashioned fun at the movies!

TWO BUDDIES (JOHN WAYNE AND STEWART GRANGER), MINING FOR GOLD IN THE ALASKA TERRITORY, STRIKE IT RICH ALONG WITH THEIR YOUNG SIDE-KICK, PLAYED HUMOROUSLY BY FABIAN AND THEIR ARCH-RIVAL, PLAYED TO PERFECTION BY THE CONNIVING ERNIE KOVACS AND THE DELICIOUSLY ENCHANTING LOVE INTEREST, PLAYED BEAUTIFULLY BY CAPUCINE, WITH THE ADDED HELP OF A HYSTERICALLY FUNNY MICKEY SHAUGHNESSY, CREATE A MIX AND MIX-UP OF A POT-POURRIE OF INTRIGUE, JEALOUSY, BUDDY-MOVIE, COMING OF AGE, GREED, AND THE REALIZATION THAT FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE, NOT GOLD, CONQUERS ALL WITH A CONSTANT STREAM OF HILARITY BY ALL IN THIS ENSEMBLE CAST, MAKES THIS A MOST ENJOYABLE ENTRY FOR YOUR FILM LIBRARY AND FOR REPEATED VIEWING WITHOUT BECOMNG BORING.

Capucine is fabulous and makes the Duke not only sweat but be greatly nonjudgmental and protective, $10 fabulous

Arrived in time for a weekend of movies. My father-in-law had never seen North to Alaska and thoroughly enjoyed it. I couldn't ask for anything better.

It’s John Wayne - what more can I say?! Once again the Duke shows how it’s done!
