This one and Donovan's Reef, silly, corny, humor. Stories were kinda DRAB. Mclintock was funny! He wasn't at his best in a comedy role. Thats my opinion, for what little its worth. Don't know what you all see in it!
Can't argue with any the points you made, these movies aren't up there in the top 10, but, every now and then, one is looking for a movie that is full of silly, corny, humor, and if the stories kinda drab, so be it.

This was such a fun movie, I loved when Duke got worked up and he wanted to go for the girl, great picture.
I agree, one of my preferred, humorous, Duke movies. My favorite scene is the lumberjack skills race to the top of the trees. Though I realize it wasn't really Duke up there, it wouldn't surprise me if it was!

What a difference 3 years can make! DeepDiscountDVD has it now, for $9.14, whereas 3 years ago it was $10.33. Sounds like deflation to me!
We haven't looked for it at other locations like K-Mart, but it might be worth checking.
As we've said before, we really enjoy this movie, but we'll have to bring it out and watch it again, this weekend, and see if we have any fresh insights to share.

This ranks right up there as one of our favorite, lighter films of Duke's.
Here are a couple of posters -

This second one is a 1964 re-issue -

Like most films, of the era, it is assumed
that all, was not what they wanted us to believe, and North To Alaska, was no exception.
Whilst, I take your point about the weather in Alaska, the cast and crew, went on location in the spring of 1960, and filming took place at Point Mugu, in California!
The creek that was used,was in fact, fed by the waters of Mount Whitney, which as you know, is a peak, in the Southern Sierra Nevada Range, in eastern California.

Most older movies were not shot on location, like they are nowadays. Most were shot in various places in California. California is very versatile, in that it has many terrains within a day's drive of each other - mountains, desert, ocean, redwood forests, etc. You can be snow-skiing early in the morning, and water-skiing in the afternoon of the same day around here, or even surfing in the ocean. Snow and surf are literally a few hours apart, and truly can be accessed in the same day.
I never had a problem with the apparent location in this film - it seemed within the realm of believability. Certainly a very enjoyable film - which makes other possibly distracting factors easy to overlook - at least for me :lol: .

What a difference almost 6 years can make! DeepDiscountDVD has it now, for $8.84, and Amazon has it for $6.97.

I love this film, and I don't care what they say!!!!![snapback]26400[/snapback]
Now you're talking, Keith! :lol:
We love this film, too, and put it with McLintock! and Donovan's Reef as another light, fun movie with the Duke.
I particularly like the lumberjack party and in particular, the tree climbing contest. The Mrs. enjoyed Capucine as the female lead in this movie.
Amazon is the winner on the film, as it has it available, and for under $10. The film is listed on Deep Discount, but for a couple of dollars more than Amazon.
