Spawn of the North
Spawn of the North ★★ ½ 1938
Alaska's the final frontier in the early 1900s as fisherman Jim Kimmerlee (Fonda) tries to earn an honest buck. But former friend Tyler Dawson (Raft) has joined a group of Russian pirates who plunder the nets of others and the two men are forced into a deadly confrontation.

Henry Fonda, George Raft, Dorothy Lamour, John Barrymore, Akim Tamiroff, Louise Platt, Fuzzy Knight, Duncan Renaldo; D: Henry Hathaway; W: Jules Furthman, Talbot Jennings; C: Charles B(ryant) Lang Jr.; M: Dimitri Tiomkin.
