Spencer Tracy and a stellar supporting cast grab muskets, gun powder and knives, and head out for adventure in Northwest Passage, a lavish Technicolor® retelling of French and Indian War heroics. Based on Kenneth Robert's best-seller, Tracy plays true-life explorer Major Robert Rogers, the intrepid leader of the celebrated Rogers' Rangers fighting force that took on one of the most challenging expeditions in military history. Tracy's portrayal brilliantly captures the American pioneering spirit, but he had to muster up his own will to carry it off. "It isn't exactly fun to work in bitter cold and be sloshing through mud all day," he said. For twelve grueling weeks of location shooting, he endured traipsing through swamps, crossing rapids and climbing mountains.

Northwest Passage Film Synopsis

Based on the Kenneth Roberts novel of the same name, this film tells the story of two friends who join Rogers' Rangers, as the legendary elite force engages the enemy during the French and Indian War. The film focuses on their famous raid at Fort St. Francis and their marches before and after the battle.

Italiano
Il maggiore Rogers viene incaricato di una pericolosissima missione: raggiungere e distruggere un accampamento di indiani (alleati dei francesi) che hanno massacrato un gruppo di coloni inglesi. Il loro villaggio si trova nell'intricata e impenetrabile foresta vergine che nasconde mille insidie umane e naturali. Compiuta la missione a Rogers viene affidato il compito di trovare il passaggio a Nord-Ovest.

Français
New Hampshire, 1759. Par idéalisme, deux jeunes garçons, Langdon Towne (Robert Young) et Hunk Marriner (Walter Brennan), s'engagent dans une expédition commandée par le Major Rogers (Spencer Tracy), dont le but est d'anéantir une tribu indienne résidant à la frontière canadienne. Les deux individus ont cependant très mal mesuré les conséquences de leur acte...

Español
Un joven que aspira a convertirse en pintor acaba alistándose en un regimiento del ejército. El mayor Rogers, al mando de la unidad, trata de encontrar un paso que cruce desde el continente americano al noroeste.

Deutsch
Im Jahr 1759 schließt sich Langdon Towne als Kartenzeichner einer Ranger-Truppe an, die von Major Rogers zu einer Strafexpedition gegen aufständische Indianer durch die Wildnis geführt wird. Nach einem strapaziösen Marsch können die Ranger das Lager der Indianer zerstören und einige gefangene weiße Frauen befreien, aber der Rückmarsch wird zu einem Martyrium.

Magyar
A XVIII. század közepén járunk. A mai Egyesült Államok északkeleti partvidéke, vagyis Új-Anglia még a brit korona gyarmata, mely elkeseredett csatározásokat folytat a tőlük északra, Québecben megtelepedett franciákkal, illetve azok indián segédcsapataival. Rogers őrnagy különlegesen veszélyes feladatot kap: járőrcsapatát a kegyetlenkedéseikről híres abenaki indiánok falujába kell megtorló hadjáratra vezetnie. Úttalan utakon, az érintetlen kanadai őserdőköin keresztül vonul a maroknyi csapat, élén a céltudatos, keménykezű és ravasz őrnaggyal, aki az ördöggel is kész szembe szállni. A történet hátterében Langdon Towne, az egyetemről kibukott festőjelölt, amatőr térképrajzoló és botcsinálta határvadász komoly férfivá érésének és romantikus szerelmének történetét láthatjuk. Kenneth Roberts magyarul is számtalan kiadást megért, szélesen hömpölygő regényének klasszikus filmváltozatát Spencer Tracy briliáns alakítása fémjelzi.

Español
Un joven que quiere ser pintor es reclutado contra su voluntad en un regimiento de rangers al mando del mayor Rogers, que intenta encontrar un paso que cruce el continente americano por el noroeste.

Pусский
Один из величайших приключенческих фильмов всех времен. Успех, ставшего классикой фильма Видора, во многом обязан Спенсеру Трэйси, который сыграл знаменитого бойца с индейцами Роберта Роджерса, лидера Рейнджеров Роджерса. Образ Трэйси приземлен и точен в качестве приграничного лидера, который не знает страха среди ужаса и кровопролития Дикого Запада. Действие развертывается в 1759 году, а фильм начинается с того, что талантливый художник Янг прибывает домой в Портсмут, Нью-Хэмпшир. Он боязливо объясняет семье, что его выгнали из Гарварда из-за смелых политических комментариев, вставленных в его рисунки.

Polski

Kiedy dociera do wioski wyjętych spod prawa Indian, w zemście za ostanie masakry zabija wszystkich członków plemienia. Oddział kieruje się do fortu Wentworth, gdzie ma otrzymać od Brytyjczyków zapasy żywności.

Love & Money (1982)Drama1982

Obsession can take many forms--love, patriotism, greed--but when it combines all three it can only have explosive results in a man driven by Love & Money. Successful investment planner Byron Levin's (Ray Sharkey--Wiseguy, The Idolmaker) career is no longer a challenge, so when international business magnate Frederick Stockheinz (Klaus Kinski--Fitzcarraldo) asks him to head up a new venture in a small South American country, Levin accepts the challenge. But as business in Latin America forces Levin to deal with a ruthless, corrupt dictator (Armand Assante), Levin also finds himself uncontrollably drawn to his employer's beautiful wife (Ornella Muti--Flash Gordon). Now one wrong misstep could mean sudden death as Levin finds himself caught between love, patriotism and greed in this edge-of-your-seat thriller.

War and Peace summary, synopsis, reviews
War and PeaceClassics1956

War and Peace is a commendable attempt to boil down Tolstoy's long, difficult novel into 208 minutes' screen time. In recreating the the social and personal upheavals attending Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia, $6 million was shelled out by coproducers Carlo Ponti, Dino de Laurentiis and Paramount Pictures. Some of the panoramic battle sequences are so expertly handled by second-unit director Mario Soldati that they appear to be Technicolor-and-Vistavision newsreel footage of the actual events. Still, the film falters dramatically, principally because of a lumpy script and King Vidor's surprisingly lustreless direction. In addition, the casting is wildly consistent: for example, while Audrey Hepburn is flawless as Natasha, Henry Fonda is far too "Yankeefied" as the introspective Pierre. Proving too long and unwieldy for most audiences, War and Peace died at the box office; far more successful was the epic, scrupulously faithful 1968 version, filmed in the Soviet Union.

Billy the Kid (1930) summary, synopsis, reviews
Billy the Kid (1930)Western1930

Bad blood is spilling over in Lincoln County: William Bonney has sworn revenge against the men who murdered his boss. Filmmaker King Vidor brought the bigger-than-life legend of Bonney – Billy the Kid – to the screen in a big way, using a rare widescreen process (unfortunately, wide prints are no longer known to exist) and filming some of the action in New Mexico locales known to the outlaw. John Mack Brown portrays the Kid, single-mindedly pursuing his vow of payback and eluding death several times (including a gun-blazing escape from a hacienda inferno). Would the Kid also elude Sheriff Pat Garrett (Wallace Beery)? The film's denouement undoubtedly delighted some moviegoers and riled others. The saddles and sidearms of a cowboy's stock-in-trade would serve Brown, then a newcomer to the Western genre, for years to come. From the mid-1930s into the 1950s, he was a mainstay of Western B-films and serials.
