Klondike Kate

Ann Savage comes to the Klondike to take possession of the hotel/saloon her daddy left her on his death bed. She finds Tom Neal in possession and no intention of giving it up. So Miss Savage becomes a singer there. This makes former best girl Glenda Farrell very jealous. Sheldon Leonard also appears as a fellow who wants Miss Farrell and the hotel.

William Castle's second movie as director is a cheap, poorly put together affair, with plot twists with no explanation and large gouts of linking material strangely absent; let's be charitable and assume that editor Mel Thorson's careful work was not destroyed by later happenstance.

This utterly forgettable movie is supposedky based on the life of Kate Rockwell Matson, a dancer who rose to some fame during the actual Klondike gold rush. She was an early associate of Alexander Pantages, and at the time this movie was made, was training Hollywood dancers. She died in 1957 at an age between 77 and 83.
