I watched the 1925 restoration. This is not at all what I expected. I thought this was about the 1849 California Gold Rush not the Alaskan Gold Rush. I had no clue at all how wintery the movie was as the only thing I was aware of was the bread roll dance scene (which really was lovely — I thought I was going to be desensitized since I’ve seen the clip so many times, but it still held up). The final set piece with the cabin on the edge of the cliff was spectacular.
