TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Although Calgary and Edmonton are the closest major cities to Athabaska Glacier, the term "close" is subjective. Calgary is 312 km (194 miles) and Edmonton is 440 km (273 miles).

Throughout the entirety of the film, Renee Vallon (Corinne Calvet) is never seen without wearing a hat.

One of the many films that the actor most people know as Harry Morgan is identified in the opening credits as "Henry Morgan." Born Harry Bratsberg, Morgan went by the name "Henry" (his father's name) almost exclusively in films from 1942 until the mid-1950s, when he transitioned back to Harry to avoid confusion with the humorist Henry Morgan , who was a popular guest on TV talk and game shows during the first two decades of television. Harry Morgan was last credited as "Henry Morgan" in Under Fire (1957), and was often credited as "Henry 'Harry' Morgan" on TV and in movies through the mid-1960s.

On the trip from Skagway to Dawson, Stewart calls his horse by his real name: Pie.

The Athabasca Glacier seen early in the trip to Dawson is actually in Jasper National Park near Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta. Global warming has caused a significant and visible retreat of the glacier since the year of filming. The glacier is retreating at the rate of about 16 feet per year.

Popular Dialogues

"[after Gannon fines Jeff his entire cattle herd for disturbing the peace, Jeff steals the herd back] Jeff Webster: Is there somethin' you want, Mr. Gannon? Skagway Sheriff Gannon: Yeah, mostly I want you. I also want that herd - it's government property. Jeff Webster: Yeah, well, I'm sorry. I reversed your decision."

"[last lines] Renee Vallon: You went and got yourself hurt again. Jeff Webster: I know. We eat, we sleep, we rest and soon we'll be all better again."
