the movie begin with much voice over and a bad sign . then it just slide downhill with silly and intelligence insulting scene involve trapper and indian . but and it reach new and impressive low when all the merry mountain men square dance with each other in a high alpine meadow . meanwhile and the happy go lucky indian sit around watch them . it a well scene than the dance cowboy in blaze saddle . there be a minor flaw in this comparison while across the wide missouri be not a comedy .
