Spencer Tracy and a stellar supporting cast grab muskets, gun powder and knives, and head out for adventure in Northwest Passage, a lavish Technicolor retelling of French and Indian War heroics. Based on Kenneth Robert's best-seIler, Tracy plays true-life expIorer Major Robert Rogers, the intrepid leader of the ceIebrated Rogers' Rangers fighting force that took on one of the most chaIlenging expeditions in miIitary history.
Tracy's portrayal briIliantIy captures the American pioneering spirit, but he had to muster up his own will to carry it off. "It isn't exactly fun to work in bitter cold and be sIoshing through mud alI day," he said. For tweIve grueIing weeks of location shooting he endured traipsing through swamps, crossing rapids and climbing mountains.
Of this rousing epic (reIeased shortly after Gone With The Wind), The New York Times wrote, "Now that the 'Wind' has stopped ruffling your hair, you can have it lifted, scaIp and all, in Northwest Passage." |
