Those familiar only with Johnny Hortons song hit North to Alaska might not be aware that the song came equipped with a movie. John Wayne and Stewart Granger star as a couple of lucky miners in Alaska Territory during the 98 gold rush. Since the Duke is the only man he can trust, Granger sends his pal to Seattle to fetch his fiance. Fabian appears in the cast (playing Grangers brother) primarily to attract teenage filmgoers; he gets to sing, of course, but hes better than usual. The films centerpiece, an outsized brawl in the muddy streets of Nome, was repeated with several variations in Waynes subsequent McLintock (1963). North to Alaska was based on a considerably more genteel stage play, Laszlo Fodors -Birthday Gift. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
