- [PLEASE READ] Cute, capable, and crafty in Calgary, Canada-that's charismatic Joan Leslie as beautiful ranch foreman and rodeo competitor "Christine 'Honey' Johnson" in NORTHWEST STAMPEDE (1948). "And, truth to tell, she lights up well" in her first starring role in a color Western movie and only her second screen appearance after her principled revolt against and departure from Warner Bros.
This is the complete movie-full of charm, beauty, conflict, and spirited action in the great Canadian outdoors.
Strapping James Craig plays the restless hero; Jack Oakie and Chill Wills lend their inimitable talents to comedic, but caring supporting roles; an elusive white stallion ("Blizzard") and resourceful German Shepherd mix ("Flame the Wonder Dog") also feature prominently.
In my opinion, no other actress in Hollywood history could better project high self-esteem than Miss Joan Leslie. I submit as evidence her performance in this movie--just one eloquent example among many in her career. I upload this video in her honor.
Paul Sawtell-one of the great composers/music supervisors for many successful American television series of the 1950s and 1960s [e.g. HAWAIIAN EYE; VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA]-supplied the pretty and evocative original soundtrack for this film.
NOTE: I think it is fair to say NORTHWEST STAMPEDE is a "forgotten classic"-in no small part because its distribution has never been associated with a major film or television studio. I consider this CZcams upload one way to redress this movie's unfortunate neglect, hoping that greater visibility online will ultimately lead to public and/or professional demand for its digital restoration (and subsequent distribution). If you are either contemplating or actively involved with such a project, please contact me.
IMPORTANT: This is a video sampler of goodwill and great admiration. If you are a professional and want credit I've neglected to give OR prefer that I delete this video, please let me know. Thank you. - Zábava
Thank you for this movie. Clean story , excitement, sweet romance. No bad language. Not like many pretentious movies today. Love it.
Great movie!! Really deserves a full restoration and Blu-ray release. They just don't make movies like this anymore.
Thank you I really like the clean western older movies. This bring back the special times I had with my Wonderful husband. We loved watching these old movies
Love the music, the scenery and the color! Such a refreshing and pure movie!
This is where I grew up... and it is still a beautiful today as when this movie was filmed
You're right. A very underrated movie! Thanks for uploading.
Great movie I loved it TY for sharing.
No wonder we loved the old westerns. Just hearing the majestic music which only added to the breathtaking scenery in westerns such as this one leaves you with an uplifted spirit.
Good story, pleasant entertainment, and yes, Joan Leslie is charming and charismatic.
I wasn't sure if l had seen this movie before. But once it started going. I did remember that I have seen it. I remembered because of the horse. Great movie
Am a Baby Boomer but realized early the older generation had some the greatest actresses - Olivia DeHavilland, Barbara Stanwyck, Jennifer Jones, Meryl Oberon, and others - not like recent times with clips patched together, whispering, constant changing shots each second - and past years seeing more of Joan Leslie who epitomizes beauty and personality - real actors
Old-fashioned movie like I enjoyed as a kid. Gorgeous scenery and beautiful horses, lots of horses! A feast for the eyes. Everything decent with the romantic side of it.
As an adult, though, it's hard seeing how rough/cruel it was for the rodeo animals and breaking horses.
Yours is the kind of thoughtful comment I always hope to read but almost NEVER receive. Thanks for taking the time.
@@goldstandard1568 And thank you for your kind reply! Always like to hear appreciation of my point of view. Blessings! 😀🙏
Nice,thank you for uploading
I had a dream just never came true. Life got in the way. I loved the white horse stories.Thanks for my smile and reflection,
Thanks for posting this classic.
Not a bad B-movie from 1948. Joan Leslie wasn't bad, although I think her best films were from earlier in the Forties like, Yankee Doodle Dandy, High Sierra, Sergeant York, and The Hard Way, when she was still in her teens (would never know she was under 20 y.o. back then). James Craig was good in this, as was Jack Oakie and Chill Wills. Thanks for uploading this.
Great movie. Thank you very much for sharing it with everyone.
This film takes me to Smokey ,Thunderhead and the Albino. Great films that I grew up with.
Calgary is a beautifl place. Nice movie. Thanks
Joan is gorgeous. Never thought she was a redhead, but red hair suits her!
That was a great movie. Thanks
Have loved this movie since I was a kid
Sounds like peter graves narrating. Joan Leslie was a 20 on the 1 to 10 scale of talent and wholesome beauty. Love the Irish.
That was Chill Wills narrating (played Mileaway)
@@grantkruse1812 thanks.
Great movie. Hadn't seen in years. Thanks
Sometimes when your loose, you win! Oh boy, these oldies keep geting better as times pass by!
I was so VERY glad that minimum animal abuse was pictured in this movie. Plot was fairly obvious and perhaps overused in many movies. Lighting, audio, visual clear and pleasant to the eye. Enjoyable.
Joan Leslie is a real Sweet heart.
I cannot believe I've never become acquainted with this wonderful actress and her marvelous work until now. Thank You So Much for uploading the incredible quality print and sharing this amazing cinematic tale with the fortunate rest of us!
+Gregory L'Esperance It was a pleasure to read your enthusiastic feedback.
If you want to see her in a modern-era Western, I highly recommend the 1954 film HELL'S OUTPOST.
jmccracken1963 ; In the movie Sgt. York she is his girlfriend and then his wife . She is beautiful.
Gregory L'Esperance
She was 16... Her first role. Wonderful.
Cute,capable and crafty in Calgary,Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦-that’s beautiful,redheaded christine honey Johnson (Joan Leslie,who lights up well in her first starring role in a color western film and only her second screen appearance after her revolt and departure from Warner bros.)James Craig is a restless hero and jack oakie and chill wills lend their comedic talents-a white stallion (blizzard) and a German shepherd (flame the wonder dog) do good in this flick! Btw-chill wills appeared with Susan Hayward,another redhead in Tulsa,also an eagle-lion film in 1949! I give it four stars! ⭐️ 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Must be getting old, I did see this wonderful movie long ago. A Gem.
What a wonderful movie. Joan Leslie is fantastic in this film.
Wow! Beautiful movie in a very wonderful place!
Thanks for the great old Western Classics :))
Joan is fantastic, as always!
I've been searching for the classic for quite some time. Agree with you, it is a forgotten classic and one I always enjoyed watching. Thanks for posting.
That was a movie for every one had mix of every person's quality and faults every day peoples life's great animal performances and cast were a great mix if you had the choice of horse dog and lady it would be hard not to choose the Lady WOw JL was stunning and could act as well a natural beauty thank you for this GEM ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A great flick set in magnificent lands of Alberta A!
Fantastic Indeed ❤ # She Who Knows Something ❤
BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL MOVIE.
Joan has acted well is pretty and hard working
Such a fantastic beginning! Some Kid goes running into a Bull Pen, and some Adult wrestles Him to the dirt and ties him up!
I just love Love LOVE Joan Leslie! She's both beautiful and brilliant!!
Jerry Gann Great comment! Thanks for writing.
Wow! This is gorgeous and such great action and acting! Thanks for sharing.
what a wonderful movie!
A simple, lyrical "B" western from Eagle-Lion. Joan Leslie is wonderful as ever.
Great movie. Thank you uploader.
very good movie, thanks for sharing
Good movie. Horses, ranch, cowboys & cowgirls, Calgary Stampede and a dog named 'Flame."
Janet Craft ; I wish that we had more women like ms Leslie, all women want today is your wallet . can't find a real female.
@@im4our312 The woman that want your wallet is a real female .
love this movie wish we had more like it
Awesome Goldstandard$ Thanks for sharing this.
Taking note of the exceptional praise bestowed on the actress in particular I was extremely eager to watch the movie but in absence of subtitles I would miss the total charm in enjoying the movie
You can get CZcams subtitles, just click on the CC on the bottom right side of the screen.
Boy oh Boy he really wanted that Beautiful Stallion
That was a good movie!!
good movie like to see more like that have a day
lovely movie
great movie !
Beautiful video. Why did she leave Hollywood ?
That is some beautiful land up there. I'd love to have a place there
It looks a little different now, compared to the 75 yrs ago when this film was made.
So lovely! So enjoyable!! Hahhahaa! Thanks for the movie!
Great movie !
thanks for posting this - awesome!
l liked this movie very entertaining.
Great movie!...👍👍
A good movie, with good story, good location and of course good direction and acting. Thanks for the upload.
Lovely movie xx
excellent movie. joan started out paying against actors much older than her. she finally got to star with more of a contemporary. and james craig should have been a bigger star.
Enjoyable movie.
good wholesome flick
Well upon further watching, I’d say that much of it IS filmed in AB, though some is certainly Studio - and perhaps Montana(?), too.
High River (and all of AB) is such a beautiful area!
It was nice reading the reviews previous of this one. Sounds like there's still people who like good clean movies that make you feel better after watching them. I don't think movie makers of this day and age could ever make a good movie like this. My motive for watching this movie was to see Joan Leslie. I loved her in SGT. York! I've always loved horses and German Shepherd Dogs and was blessed to own both. I purchased a quarter horse from Oklahoma that had never had anyone on his back before. It was a wonderful experience getting him to trust me. I had purchased videos, and books to learn how to do things right, but no book or video can cover everything. But after three months he bonded to me so strongly that I could just whistle, and he would come to me, and I'd saddle him up and we would go for an all-day ride with breaks in-between. The scene where the guy jumped on the horse's neck, was really retarded. And you could probably tell that they used a dummy in part of that scene. I'm going to shut up now, I'm normally pretty quiet, but owning Sundance (my horse that I broke) was a dream come true for me. Thank God for decent, people!
Really enjoyable
just sweet old fashion movie
I always enjoy James Craig! He should have been up there w/Tyrone, Cary and Clark~
I've always liked James Craig
Good movie
Enjoyed 👍
When I was a kid, and collecting 16mm prints to show in my basement screening room, this was one of the first ones I ever got my hands on. It's a guilty pleasure favorite movie for me. Joan Leslie is one of the most under-appreciated actresses that ever worked in Hollywood. She was just perfect every time. There's a credit on this copy that it's a British Radiantcolor Print. I know the film was shot in two color Cinecolor, and I'm wonder what kind of print this is, because the blues in it are true blue, especially in the sky, which are never a good blue in Cinecolor, always kind of pastel. Does anyone know what a British Randiantcolor Print is?
The color reminds me of Natonial Geographic magazines from the 1950's where the pictures were colored over.
I understand what express - Being a kid and deeply in involved with "anything" passionately!
I guess I am pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream new movies online?
@Karter Marcus I watch on FlixZone. Just search on google for it :)
@Kingston Jensen Yup, been using FlixZone for years myself :D
Thanks
thanks
I like Eagle-Lion films, many more please!
Gente estamos no Brasil, o nosso idioma e. o português, não estamos nos Estados Unidos, se vocês postam filmes para inglês ver,... eu vejo uma falta de patriotismo e respeito para com os brasileiros, legendas em nosso idioma e um sinal de respeito...
35:23 That's exactly what predators try to do. This is why horses work to keep their heads and necks Up, and away from predators. Notice that this risks breaking the horse's leg at 35:49. By behaving as a predator, Man has continually broken trust, and proven himself a Predator to be avoided and resisted by horses. If a person wants to be honorable and learn a better way, the way of trust earned and honored, watch the YT channel called Think Like A Horse. It's vital to understand horses, why they react as they do, how they think and how they respond. Handling horses through fear, pain, abuse, and force doesn't make a partnership, doesn't make a friendship, doesn't make trust, but causes trauma, causes problems, causes distrust, and causes injuries. There's no reason for it, when trust brings a better way. Watch a mustang be ridden with only a halter and rein, never a bit, with peace and trust. The channel is called Think Like A Horse.
Stop it.
I like western movie most of all
Damn good movie.
great stuff , thanks
A clean one.
I’m enjoying this movie so far, but as a Canadian who lives within a few hrs of High River AB I have to shake My head at the U.S. accents and much of the locations used here (other than the opening views) that’re meant to be Canadian.
…Oh well, such is Life.
some people dont know what they are talking about. good flick
There was an Australian version of this movie made about 15-20 years ago with that "Gladiator" fellow named Russell Crowe.... but I can't remember the title... almost the exact same story.
The Silver brumby.
There is a finite number of Western Movie basic plots .
@@filianablanxart8305 true, but I have not seen them all yet!
Pretty good movie, it shows that there is no need for cussing and killing in a picture, a tight blouse and the smell of bacon and eggs is the only ammunition needed.
It’s a movie folks. Make believe.
Nice movie, but the premise is dumb. A rodeo guy and a ranch go hand in hand. Doesn't make sense that he doesn't want the ranch. But Joan Leslie is lovely as ever. Thanks for uploading this movie for us all to enjoy!
+QBAN2010 huh? rodeo guy has no home. a ranch is stay in one place and responsibility.
It's filmed in a beautiful place and about the same as far as westerns go at this time but I still love watching them. I just get annoyed at how stupid they make the women look. Oh i broke a nail. , Really? She runs the ranch and is worried about breaking a nail? He goes to bed and lets the whole herd of horses get run off by a stallion and she says nothing about it to him? Oh, that's right, he saved her from getting run over by the stampeding herd of horses because that's what women do they just stand there and play dumb. But, then she turns around and shows him up and almost beats him in the rodeo which was quite surprising and makes a dumb ass out of him chasing the stallion at the end when he loses his pack so this one actually makes both of them look stupid so not as bad as most of them in that respect. lol.
When I saw all those people riding around hangin onto the horn, I knew it was a Canadian movie
can you put the automatic subtitles please... i'm italian... i love this film
I didn't know Joan Leslie was a redhead.
Yeah! That was a good one!!
I never heard of a cowgirl riding a bucking bronc 🐴
Sorry I'm wrong for the distinguished move "Gone with the Wind " was my years older.
Don't tell me no animals were hurt during the Production of this movie. Mercy
Just right!
Uma pena áudio original. O filme é muinto bom
great!
