in this gorgeous framework, Stew
art Granger and Wendell Corey
act out a pursuit fiction which
suffers two defects. One of these is
that the story is too pat, the other
that it is slowed too much by
repetition.
The Wild North" however, has
moments of genuine excitement.
One of these is a battle between
the Mountie Corey and his
prisoner (Granger). and a pack of
famiShed wolves. Another is their
dash in a canoe down Snarling,

It could very we'll have been the

setting called for the most starkly
simple tale.
He has written, therefore, a
Screenplay with two conflicts; man
against nature and man against
man. What with a setting of an
icy infinity-ice capped noun
tainS and savage snow-drifted
valleys-he has not had to bother
much with the former.
The latter presented more of a
problem, less dramatically solved.
In this duel, Granger plays a
trapper whose heart is as warm as
his courage and confidence in
himself are cold. He is a man of
great and justified pride. On his
way north with his new bride and
a braWling Irish giant of a COM
panion, he is forced to shoot the
latter.
This brings him within the!
jurisdiction of Canada's famous
mounted police, one of whom is
dispatched into the lonely snow
field to bring back his man. AL
though Granger agrees that mo

his crime" he rather relishes his.

The trek back will give him a
