The Wild North
A superb adventure in the Candadian unchartered North Country of Canada in which Wendell Corey is a mounted policeman chasing Stewart Granger, who killed a man in self defense, but is being brought in for a trial. Cyd Charisse, a famous dance beauty in real life, plays an Indian maiden waiting for Granger to return to her.
Granger is a solitary trapper who knows the country, but Corey, the mounted policeman doesn't know the country when Corey catchs up to Granger, But trying to get back to the town for trial, Granger allows Corey to get lost in the snow and blizzard conditions. They both end up fighting a pack of wolves in which Corey is bitten in the neck and goes into a stupor. Granger brings Cory back tied to the sled as the "mouse is bringing back the cat."
Granger could have left Corey in the snow a couple of times before this incident and escaped to freedom, but his morals wouldn't let him do it.
It will take a wild ride down the rapids at the base town upon their return for Granger to bring Corey out of the stupor. The two, who were enemies, become close friends as Corey testifies on behalf of Granger at the trial.
This movie was hard to get on DVD and it is worth buying and having it in one's collection.
Action, adventure,and human drama are the words that describe this movie.

I am 66 years old and when I was a youngster this was my dad's favorite movie of all time. I remember watching it over and over. He loved the wolf fight in it. When I saw it on Amazon I couldnt believe it. I bought it right away. I have watched it and it brought back so many memories. This is a good old movie and I wish they still made them like this. No sex or cussing. I recommend it highly.
