Reviews for North to Alaska
One of John Wayne's most popular Western-adventures, North to Alaska reveals his light comedy skills, and benefits from Shamroy's on-location shoot, hathaway's smooth helming, and great cast, headed by Cappucine, Ernie Kovacs, Stewart Granger, and Fabian
An OK John Wayne up north comedy western. Not one of his better efforts, but it has its moments.
