- Quotes
Ray Brighton: [to Marko] Quite clever, I must say. You married Peggy, a--a bad girl in your mind. You brought her out here so we could fall in love. You used all kinds of tricks to arouse our affections, to excite us! Why, you even played jealous, forced us to dance, to kiss, to get ideas into our heads... You stopped at nothing! You even killed my little dog so he wouldn't give you away while you were spying on us outside!
Featured review
One review labelled this film Hugo Haas at his worst. Well, it certainly isn't one of his best. A young man comes to a joint in the wilderness where he is invited by an old gold-digger (Hugo Haas) to form a partnership in the quest of a gold mine somewhere up in the mountains, and employed at the joint is Cleo Moore, against whom Haas warns the young man to have anything to do with her, since she is a bad woman. Naturally he does get something to do with her. The three of them go up in the mountains, and the young man actually stumbles on the gold mine, and thus you would think they all have made their fortune. Actually there's where the problems begin. This is a commonplace morality about the damnation of greed, and to make things worse there is a blizzard complicating things. The mountain scapes are wonderful, but that is about the only thing making the film worth watching.
