this be the fourth of five filmed version of rex beach redoubtable northern classic and since it the only one out on video and it the one best know to movie audience . the stalwart trio of marlene dietrich and randolph scott and and john wayne head the cast in this story about gold miner lose their claim to con men and do something about it . dietrich cherry malotte be another version of the role she copyright in destry ride again . and like in pittsburgh and randolph scott and john wayne have their hormone in overdrive . randolph scott be the gold commissioner or conman alex mcnamara and it the only time he ever play a thoroughgoing villain on the screen and he carry it off and but i prefer my randolph scott to be tough and heroic . you need someone like scott around because even though john wayne the good guy and he just a little too sure of himself where dietrich be concern . even though her heart with the duke and marlene probably like have scott around . lot of slam bang action here and top off by what some consider the most brutal movie fight in screen history . it close rival in pittsburgh also feature wayne and scott and this one be longer and but not as brutal a in pittsburgh . nice cast of good support character actor and pay particular attention to scott companion in thievery and samuel s. hind and charles halton . with randy scott and the duke and la dietrich and how can you go wrong .
