The Far Country (1954): cast, story & where to watch

1954 · Film · ★ 6.9

Released in 1954, The Far Country is a drama, romance and western film directed by Anthony Mann, running about 97 minutes. “RENEE...the innocent...and the untamed...BEN...the gambler...and the loser...GANNON...the law...and the noose...RUBE...the friendless...and the afraid.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. In 1896, Jeff Webster sees the start of the Klondike gold rush as a golden opportunity to make a fortune in beef...and woe betide anyone standing in his way! He drives a cattle herd from Wyoming to Seattle, by ship to Skagway, and (after a delay caused by larcenous town boss Gannon) through the mountains to Dawson. There, he and his partner Ben Tatum get into the gold business themselves. Two lovely women fall for misanthropic Jeff, but he believes in every-man-for-himself, turning his back on growing lawlessness...until it finally strikes home.

Who’s in it. The Far Country stars James Stewart as Jeff Webster, Ruth Roman as Ronda Castle, Corinne Calvet as Renee Vallon and Walter Brennan as Ben Tatum, among others.
