North To Alaska (1960)

Light-hearted western starring John Wayne as Sam McCord who, along with his partner George Pratt (Stewart Granger), has just struck it big with their gold mine near Nome, Alaska.

Sam has to travel down to Seattle to pick up equipment and George's French finance, Jenny. However when he gets there, he finds out that Jenny is already married. Not wanting to disappoint his buddy, Sam asks a French saloon girl named Angel (Capucine) to travel with him back to Alaska. He hopes that this might heal George's broken heart. This turns out to not be such a good idea. It seems that Angel has fallen in love with Sam (and he loves her although he doesn't know it).  To make matters worse, con-man Frankie (Ernie Kovacs) has concocted a plan to get a claim on Sam and George's mine.
