Another great Alaska film, this time made by an apparent clueless tourist going there expecting to find snow and ice the minute they cross the border, only to be dissapointed with all the greenery, Actually is quite interesting him explaining some of the odd quirky people and their tales, and the film briefly talks about the salmon trade. I liked this overview. Reccomended!

RCA "Photophone" sound doesn't copy well or was pretty sketchy to begin with. Year this was made is unknown. Its a travelohue of Alaska in the summer where of course there is no snow - though the narrator acts like that's odd or unexpected. An OK film with some nice scenery and lore presented but there are better products about Alaska.
