Trending Position
Henry Fonda ("Murdock") heads to Alaska in search of gold. He arrives and is soon dewy-eyed for "Sally" (Joan Bennett). A whirlwind romance ensues and they quickly marry. All looks good until his pal "Blackie" (Warren William) arrives and it seems his new wife and his pal have a bit of a past. What ... now follows is a fairly procedural love triangle story. The rather spineless "Murdock" jumps to all sorts of conclusions fuelled by little more than gossip and his own ignorance and his (now pregnant) wife seems to be harshly judged by all concerned on no basis of evidence. The ending is never in doubt, but the road to it is all just a bit contrived with little plausibility in a story that might have worked better on a stage with a more accomplished theatrical cast. Watchable, but forgettable
