HE CHALLENGED THE GOLD-RICH GLORY THAT WAS THE YUKON! white with snow... scarlet with sin... yellow with the dust... that lured him on!
I love the way Mann explores moral issues: here, whether we can be self-sufficient or whether we need other people.
Here, Stewart is presented in a very dark light, as a bitter cynical loner, who rejects help from others and who refuses to help others. There is some very nasty business along the way, really.
This is leavened with various lighter even comic turns, including Walter Brennan, and the girl.
