 DVD Savant Review: North to Alaska
But the presence of the all-powerful, all-knowing Wayne naturally redeems any fallen woman, and the French whore proves to be a game gal itching for the freedom and promise of true love in a new land.
For a family film, Wayne spouts an unending series of anti-marriage, anti-woman statements, but we know that Capucine is going to find his soft spot, and all will work out, even if the big ox will still have derogatory remarks to make about the female sex.
Wayne's picture has a bit of the same charm, taking a technically sordid bunch of characters and using the Wayne Spirit to solve all their problems.

In 1960 John Wayne starred in this action/comedy film, set on the Alaska Gold Rush of the beginning of the XX century.
Acording to some biographers, Wayne accepted to do this film still on the production of "The Alamo", based only in the sugestive title of a scrip yet unwritten and the assurance that it would be directed by the efficient Henry Hathaway.
North to Alaska is an agreeable ligth comedy with good interpretations by Wayne and Stweart Granger and the interesting presences of young singer Fabian and the European beauty Cappucine.

John Wayne and Stewart Granger star as a couple of lucky miners in Alaska Territory during the '98 gold rush.
Fabian appears in the cast (playing Granger's brother) primarily to attract teenage filmgoers; he gets to sing, of course, but he's better than usual.

 Needcoffee.com DVD Review: North to Alaska (1960)
Sam McCord (Wayne) is a decent enough man. He's up around Nome, Alaska prospecting for gold, along with his partners George (Granger) and his brother Billy (Fabian).
First, the film seems to have trouble figuring out what it is. It's not the fault of the cast--Wayne is his usually stolid self, albeit playing a bit more to his comic timing (and yes, he has a good dose).
Granger is well cast, and Fabian, as his brother, doesn't have much to do but sing (he is Fabian, after all) and be that kind of youngster "gee whiz" type.

 Amazon.ca: Video: North to Alaska   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Even people habitually hostile to John Wayne movies tend to cast an indulgent eye on this rumbustious comedy-Western--partly because the Alaska gold rush setting seems more exotic than, say, Texas or Arizona, and because there are no Indians to discriminate against and no macho gunplay to fret about.
Claim jumpers, love triangles and power plays keep best friends Granger and Wayne on their toes, and almost at each other's throats, and right smack in the middle of it all is a delectable French lady named Capucine.
Granger and Wayne are fabulously paired up in this movie as partners, especially since they are exact opposites.

 dOc DVD Review: North to Alaska (1960)
North to Alaska marked an anniversary of sorts for John Wayne and a return to the studio that gave him his first major starring role.
Unfortunately, several of the townspeople weren't as bright or quick to catch on, including Peter Boggs (Mickey Shaughnessy), the town drunk, who Canon employs in a scheme to maneuver himself in a position to take away all that Sam and George have worked for.
Hilariously delightful and endearing, North to Alaska is one of John Wayne's best films and ample proof that he could be as comfortable dispensing one-liners as brandishing his fists.
