Customer Reviews of Northwest Passage
the northwest passage This film is still not on dvd, and it should be. This movie is really a guilty preasure, in that, it is all the things a movie should not be. Historically inacurrate, and all Hollywood from the get go. But, that was the way it was until audiances became too sufficiated for bad directing. Despite all that, I love this movie, because of those reasons. The truth would only paint Tracys character much differently, and we might end up hating the hero more then the indians. There are many lines in this film that are memorable. My favorite is when Tracy says "If she gives you any trouble, stick her in the rump with a bannoet." My second favorite line was so laughable I still laugh as I'm about to write it. After the indian maccacre is over Tracy is trying on the local foot wear and in an angry fit says, "Dont any of these indians have man size feet"? In case any of you don't get the connection, maybe you noticed that Spencer Tracy was not shown standing next to any of those indians to clostly, because of his size, or lack of it. I don't know his foot size exactly, but I am pretty certain he could fit into one of my wife's tennies. Now I could say, I'm no film critic, but the fact is, I use to be twenty five years ago. My formula for a good film was, and still is "ENTERTAINMENT". This movie hits the mark, expecially back in the forties era. The ideas surrounding the carnage were as best, suggestive, especially when describing the indians at their worst. Now, imagine a remake with an obvious "R" rating. It stifles the mind, doesn't it?
DVD?
This is a great action movie! Why has it not been issued in DVD format? With as much junk that is being re-issued now, a movie of this caliber should be a no-brainer! Great story and cast.
Northwest Passage - The Movie's Version.
I first saw this picture when I was 10 or 11 years old (shortly after it was released). I thought it was great. I had not, at that time, read Kenneth Roberts' book, so I didn't realize how much they had changed it in order to make the movie. After reading the book (shortly after seeing the movie), I enjoyed the book even more. Re-seeing the movie at intervals through the years I have not felt that it was diminished by the changes made for the movie.

> My "DVD and Movie Guide" (Martin and Porter) rates it three-and-a-half stars, but I feel it is better than that. The combination of the book and the movie led me, in later years to travel through some of the country covered in movie and the first half of the book. If you've already read the book, don't expect the movie to follow it; accept it as just an adventure. Remember, adventure is usually someone having a very hard time of it, a long way away from home. And try to think what it must have been like 250 years ago.
