Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

MartinHafer Despite the title, this was filmed in Alberta, not Saskatchewan. It didn't bother me, as it was a beautiful film to watch--it was so vivid and blue. However, I wonder if Canadians might notice that it's not Saskatchewan.The idea of a film about the Mounties and the natives isn't a bad one. However, at times, it felt almost as if this was another 'cowboys versus Indians' films--though its message that there are both good and bad Indians and brotherhood was a nice change of pace. Too bad this was lost, somewhat, because of a dopey side story about a woman wanted in the States (Shelly Winters).The film begins with a very unlikely pair of brothers (Alan Ladd and Jay Silverheels) having a shooting contest. You learn that they were raised together and Ladd has a strong affinity for the natives. However, his new commanding officer in the Mounties is a total idiot--and his ways do nothing but alienate the friendly natives--pushing them towards an alliance with the warlike Sioux. So, it's up to Ladd to come to the rescue! There is a bad side story involving Shelly Winters. Her characters is just annoying. No one seems too upset that she steals a horse and behaves like a spoiled brat--and you know that no matter how awful she is, she'll be in a clinch with Ladd by the end of the film. Frankly, her character was 100% unnecessary.Overall, a very flawed but pretty film that fans of Ladd will enjoy--but others would probably be unimpressed by when they watch. Watchable.

lwsaunders-1 In the scene where they are riding along the edge of a lake, that is Moraine Lake, about 8 to 10 road miles from Lake Louise. The mountains in the background are the ten peaks that were shown on the back of the old $20. bill. The North West Mounted Police official head gear was the pill box and the pith helmet however, they "unofficially" wore the stetson prior to 1897. The stetson was first officially worn at Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. It is interesting to note that the Province of Saskatchewan had an ad normal influx of American tourists after this movie was released, all wanting to see the famous Blue Canadian Rockies. For those into trivia....Robert Mitchum and Marylin Monroe were filming "River of No Return" in the same area at the same time and stayed at the Banff Springs Hotel.

benxbox I've watched the movie several times and thought it was entertaining. in 1954 movies were entertainment, i don't know of any movie let alone one from 1954 that is historically correct. westerns among other movies in this period were horrible when it came to correctness. but they are amusing to watch and i found this one entertaining. i don't know whats correct or not in the movie but i've watched it several times. if there are no mountains in Saskatchewan who cares at least the movie has them and in vista vision. Alan Ladd does a good job and so does Shelly Winters, now there was a lot of people i didn't know who could use some acting skills but the movie turned out alright.

ddroesch I was there on location for this film and it was filmed mostly in Alberta in the vicinity of Lake Louise and Banff. It rained a lot during the filming and a lot had to be redone at the studio. I was an extra and mostly rode horses and was a dead man in several scenes. As a kid it was a great experience.Alan Ladd was wonderful as was Carrol, Shelly and Raoul. They fed us well and we stayed in small out buildings, like motel buildings, near the Banff Springs Hotel. I had to leave early to do a film with Jeff Chandler and I had a commitment at the Pasadena Playhouse at that time also. My last theatre work was in 1960 when I had to give up show business for health reasons --- I needed to eat!Hope this clears up the question of where it was filmed.Don Alan (Droesch)
