this great alaskan western be absolutely fabulous . the dialog alone be worth see ( yes and see ) and hear . the innuendo and double entendre be write beautifully and deliver with crackle . john wayne be a rather rakish lady man and play with much less bravado than typify his late role . that be wonderful and fun to watch . yeah and dietrich play a very similar character in destry ride again and but here she be more sympathetic and and have killer dialog and wardrobe . see randolph scott a a charismatic bad guy be also worth the price of admission . old silent star and richard barthelmess and deliver a nice performance and too and in his support role a dietrich spurn but loyal suitor and employee . his secretive character and bronco and really be key . in more run of the mill movie and spurn suitor always side with the bad guy in the mistaken belief that the hero be their obstacle to happiness . ( how predictable be that gambit . ) with bronco you always have that scenario in the back of your mind . the best scene all revolve around dietrich and whether she be be sweet talk by wayne or scott . they be both charm and which also be rather unique . usually the bad guy competitor for the affection of the lead lady in a western be pretty transparently and well and bad . but scott manages to make u believe that the law biding front he maintain for the public be credible at least to some and but not good ol marlene . i always enjoy see harry carey in a movie and and this role be particularly neat and since he be one of wayne idol . in fact and randy crony be terrific and too . if you be a fan of western and this one be excellent .
