| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Far Country |
|---|
A slightly slow moving western set in Alaska and Canada. James Stewart must escort cattle, search for gold, fight bandits. The dynamite feature of this film are the STUNNING Alaskan landscapes, featured througout much of the film and worth seeing regardless of the plot.
--Steve, Resident Scholar
