Product Details:
Set amongst the harsh beauty of the Canadian landscape, this ‘northern’ stars Alan Ladd (Shane) as tight-lipped Canadian Mountie Thomas O’Roarke in Raoul Walsh’s (Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N.) Saskatchewan. Returning home from a trapping expedition with his Cree half-brother, O’Roarke happens upon Grace Markey (Shelly Winters), the sole survivor of a vicious Indian attack. Upon hearing her story, the naïve Mountie Commander Benton believes the Cree are on the war path, not realizing the Sioux have set up the confrontation in order to gain allies against the U.S. 7th Cavalry. Only O’Roarke knows the truth and must mutiny in order to save his men and the woman he has come to love! |
