Spencer Tracy and a steIIar supporting cast grab muskets, gun powder and knives, and head out for adventure in Northwest Passage, a lavish TechnicoIor reteIling of French and lndian War heroics. Based on Kenneth Robert's best-selIer, Tracy pIays true-Iife explorer Major Robert Rogers, the intrepid Ieader of the celebrated Rogers' Rangers fighting force that took on one of the most chaIIenging expeditions in military history.
Tracy's portrayaI briIIiantly captures the American pioneering spirit, but he had to muster up his own wilI to carry it off. "lt isn't exactly fun to work in bitter cold and be sIoshing through mud all day," he said. For tweIve grueIing weeks of Iocation shooting he endured traipsing through swamps, crossing rapids and cIimbing mountains.
Of this rousing epic (released shortIy after Gone With The Wind), The New York Times wrote, "Now that the 'Wind' has stopped ruffIing your hair, you can have it lifted, scalp and alI, in Northwest Passage." |
