Midnight Movie: The Far Country

on BBC Two England

starring James Stewart
with Ruth Roman, Corinne Calvet, Walter Brennan

Into the gold-mad Yukon comes a stranger with a gun and a herd of cattle to challenge the man who holds the law up to ridicule.
This film is one of several first-rate Westerns that Anthony Mann and James Stewart have made together. Mann directed Stewart in Winchester '73 (seen recently on BBC-1), The Man from Laramie, and Where the River Bends. They have also worked together on Thunder Bay and The Glenn Miller Story
