Saturday Cinema: MacDonald of the Canadian Mounties

on BBC Two England

starring Tyrone Power, with Cameron Mitchell, Thomas Gomez, Penny Edwards, Robert Horton.

Popular romantic star Tyrone Power appears in this afternoon's film as Constable Duncan MacDonald, a courageous and resourceful member of the Mounties who, assisted solely by a half-breed guide (Thomas Gomez), is given the task of returning the warring Cree Indians to the rule of law.
Tyrone Power, who died at the early age of forty-five, was recently seen in BBC-tv's Great Stars movie "Alexander's Ragtime Band". Cameron Mitchell, who was a rising star at the time MacDonald was produced, is now an established name of many large-scale productions such as "Last of the Vikings" and "Hombre", but is best known to BBC-2 viewers for his role as Buck in "The High Chaparral".
