"A gold digger in Alaska goes back to Washington to bring his partner’s girl back to him. However, the two end up falling in love with each other during the trip. John Wayne only occasionally lent his tough guy persona to more comedy driven vehicles, and out of these film it seems that North to Alaska is the best one of them. Charming in its overall simplicity while also occasionally genuinely funny, Hathaway’s film is one that will perhaps please a wider audience than the usual western one."
