A Strange Blend of Romance and Comedy
8 September 2015
Sam (John Wayne) and George strike gold in Alaska. George sends Sam to Seattle to bring George's fiancée back to Alaska. Sam finds she is already married, and returns instead with Angel.

This is a strange film in the John Wayne list of credits. Much of it makes sense for him. He is rugged, lives in Alaska while still a territory, and likes to drink more than just a little. Even the romance is sort of rugged, which fits his style.

But then you add the humor, and it is pretty strange. The sound effects and slapstick elements, not to mention the fighting goats and clapping seals... such a strange film. But this only made it better. The whole subplot with the Frankie the Con Man character makes it even better, adding a whole other layer.
