Previous review asks why not more gold digging? First of all the author is Charlotte Gray and they followed her book she wrote which they kept to in script. Reminded me of "Deadwood". Scandinavians wanting to be North American's. Terrible revue, fantastic entertainment. Who really wants to see 6 hours of digging in the permafrost and mud? The acting was a little stiff when it came to the main character's Jewish pal. I believe that in Charlotte Gray's book a lot more emphasis on Jack London could and would have been beneficial. Alaska is drop-dead beautiful and crazy to look at. I tried living there and almost went nuts, I mean everything is shipped in including the toilet paper and feminine napkins and petrol. The geological idea of where gold lies is spot on. L J
