THANK YOU so much for sharing Grand movies like this is what us old timers grew up on st the Saturday Matinee. OK How many of us remember going to the movies for a dime then a quarter and we would watch Lone Ranger and Tonto (Jay Silverhells) And Lone Ranger would always send poor Tonto to town to do this or that and you know Tonto always got the crap beat out of him. OK got that now how many of us would shout Dont go Tonto you gonna get your butt whipped.
Pretty nifty historical action-adventure film from the supreme master of spectacle, Cecil B. DeMille. Always look forward to hearing his voice on the soundtrack, setting the scene in the opening narration. I very much enjoyed this movie, which I was aware of but had never seen. I knew nothing of its plot. Although not quite as grand a spectacle as I was hoping, the tale remained gripping throughout. DeMille was a master storyteller with straightforward but compelling plots. NWMP is no exception. One of the things I most enjoyed about it was the dialogue, which crackled & sparkled from start to finish. It's a wonderfully engaging script, skillfully combining both drama & light humor in the characters' respective speaking moments. Decades before he became famous as Prof. Harold Hill in "The Music Man", Robert Preston was known mostly for villainous roles. He's not a villain here but possesses a fatal weakness regarding the fairer sex. Gary Cooper looked impressive in his Texas Ranger's outfit, engagingly low-key & sharing in the movie's fine dialogue. The performance I most enjoyed, however, was that of Paulette Goddard. I've seen only a couple of her movies but this is the first one where I've seen her put on an accent & immerse herself in an entirely different type of characte & ethnicity, the duplicitous Canadian Indian girl. I found I couldn't take my eyes off her, not only because of her beauty, but the convincing & fascinating role she played. Her desperate love for Ronnie, i.e., Preston, gained my sympathy, despite her nefarious trickery. I truly felt sorry for her in her final scene. I also liked how Dusty/Cooper patted her shoulder as she cried over Ronnie's body, attempting to console her, recognizing the girl's humanity. In short, great flick, which I'm glad I've finally seen at long last. Thank you, Mr. DeMille!
Awesome movie, loved it….my grandfather and grandmother lived in Canada, always did like the Mounties. This is a great story about them….HIGH 5…👍❤️🙏🏼😇❤️👍🥰
A classic that reflects how movie producers unknowingly helped to form the idea that violence can be comical and not really painful. The storyline holds together enough so that we do get the idea that the Mounted Police were (and are) the group who maintained law and order in Old Canada. Except for Sergeant Preston and his dog King, the RCMP got little exposure for their achievements.
Good, old Technicolor bang-bang-shoot-em-up and action film. Amazing to think that this was made little more than a decade after THE JAZZ SINGER. The medium had grown by leaps and bounds.
an oscar for best film editing of 1940,(nominated for best color photography)actually joel mcrea was supposed to do this film(he did UNION PACIFIC in 1939 for demille)and gary cooper was supposed to do FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT 1940,cooper wanted to do this film and trade places with mcrea who did the foreign correspondent film for hitchcock
Somebody remarked that Demille only made color movies. Actually he got his start in the silent era with THE SQUAWMAN, and did quite a bit of black and white stuff, until a dependable color process became available.
UNION PACIFIC 1939 was his last in black and white,this was his first color film from then on he would only make color films in 1942,1944,1947,1949,1952,and his last 1956
There was a 30 minute radio 📻 show called Sargent Preston of the Yukon and his Faithful Dog King. Also, Bobby Benson of the B Bar B. I was about 9 years old and I could hardly wait for the programs to come on. My mother and I never had a television 📺 I’m a 78 year old woman 👵🏻, I live with my oldest daughter and her husband and we still don’t have a television 📺. 😅😅😅
"We make new government!" Fast forward and that is IS what needs to be done today: NEW GOVERNMENT AGENTS, honoring their oath to Divine Rights (the Constitution states) to live without GREEDY gremlins punishing us, for being alive without their permission!!!
Gay actor Robert Preston did a fine job of acting the part of a real Alpha male Anglo Saxon warrior. Movie released in 1940. The following December Pearl Harbor and USA at war. Note short part of a young Robert Ryan playing the part of the Redcoat that shot the Scotsman’s buddy. He like Lee Marvin became real deal decorated WWII American soldiers. Marvin on the Johnny Carson show stated that at Iwo Jima that Bob Keason was the bravest man in battle he ever knew. Bob Keeshan, later became Captain Kangaroo of the long running morning TV kiddie show.
i once spoke to a canadian Mountie who was offended by me saying Mountie. I have No idea why, it seems like a repectable title and not a bad one. but he was an idiot in other ways too.
THIS MOVIE IS NOT A DOCUMENTARY. Of course Hollyweird embellishes, improvises, take liberties and fictionalizes facts. The movie was made for the masses, not the real life participants. Art for art's sake, is just that, "ART"!
The most out of place cast member is April. She is everywhere and nowhere. Her counterpart, the half breed, is an evil, evil woman. Marry her and you would be going to bed full of scorpions every time. A great Gary Cooper movie ruined by two women.
De Mille's lack of taste, talent, skill, tact, history, fact, perspective and just about everything else is on parade and in color. Addressing the character played by Paulette Goddard as a "kooch" is beyond the pale. As for the burning angst regarding cultural and ethnic appropriation....well....I'm Armenian....so all of you have absolutely nothing on my ancestors' historical issues.
A little research on these red coated goons shows that the Brits considered the equivalent to the Royal Irish Constabulary. In other words, they are nothing but Canada's Black and Tan. My own ancestry includes not only Irish ancestors but turns out I have a bunch of French Canadian relatives as well. Is there any doubt who I'm cheering for?
in reference to your jingoistic comment, please keep in mind the time frame this and many other similar films were made. WW2 was already underway and patriotism and historical films reflected that. Hollywood, withit's many refugees and immigrants from wartorn Europe and oppression, were proactive.

Half-breeds, huh?
Sgt. Preston of the NW Mounted Police and his dog King is one of my favorite childhood memories .
Awesome movie, loved it….my grandfather and grandmother lived in Canada, always did like the Mounties. This is a great story about them….HIGH 5…👍❤️🙏🏼😇❤️👍🥰
One of the best old movies. Genuinely enjoyed it.
Great pic and cast and production. Thanks for showing

And if you run into any just comply .
Do not forget about Dudley Do Right thats how many of us learned about the Mounties always getting their man
A outstanding classic.
Always a pleasure to view a movie made for entertainment instead of a "film" made for a dilettante's delusive "social engineering."
My first time I proposed marriage was age 7 to a RCMP. Sigh, he declined. I think it was a height thing.

OMG! Lovely Paulette

Whenever I watch this movie, I have to watch the other Technicolor period movie with Paulette Goddard (and Gary Cooper): Unconquered
@@andyharman3022 She wasn't as pretty in Unconquered(1947), but she was gorgeous here
Cooper doesn't show-up until 20 minutes into the movie. He could play this role with his eyes closed.

Ronnie was so handsome and he fell for that trashy, trampy girl. Well, I guess he got what he deserved. Men, take heed.
Dusty was a mangey no good tryin to steal The Sarge’s lady. What a no good low down coyote fer tryin. Good flick.
No animal rights back then. 😮😮😮😢😢

How did GC hat renew the bullet hole
Cute flick
Amazing how movies were straight forward propaganda, back then.
Not sure things are much different now.
They still are. Cheers!
And acted out by no so straight humans, males and females then. Nowadays you also have shemales. Just a bunch of weirdos all the way around.
And what's different now? "It's airborne!!!" Put that mask on tighter and get that shot.
