“Gold Rush era, 1875 on the Canadian border: A widower, his 10-year-old son, and a saloon singer face perilous adventures while fleeing a murderous bandit. A brilliantly directed Western melodrama with a simple, clichéd plot, but one that becomes a cinematic event thanks to its perfectly cast stars, catchy songs, and above all, the sensational Cinemascope landscape shots (raft trip).”
