cowboy james stewart and walter brennan take their herd from seattle to alaska and on into canada to stake a claim . once there and they have to contend with seductive and shifty businesswoman ruth roman and ice cold and happy go lucky villain james mcintire . john wayne may get talk about more and but his good pal stewart make some excellent and hard edge western too and some with the great director anthony mann . frankly and i would take this and with it sturdy action sequence and fine melodrama and over north to alaska any day . the far country feature some breathtaking scenery and cinematography that should definitely have be shoot in widescreen . also and there some strong support by the always reliable brennan and roman ( who great ) and the incredibly cute corrine calvet and and james mcintire and who play one of my favorite type of bad guy and the kind that doesn not take himself too seriously . this would make a great double bill with another highly recommend mann or stewart northwest set western and bend of the river .
