The Trail of ’98
Live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne
“The hardest film I ever made” is how the director described the location shoot that may have seemed as arduous as the historical quest for Klondike gold. Adapted from the pen of Poet of the Yukon, Robert Service, it is packed with daring set pieces—the shooting of white water rapids, the burning of Dawson City—and features Dolores Del Rio as a dancehall girl and Harry Carey as the villain out to ruin her chance at love.
Live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne
