    • Quotes

      Gooseberry: You know, just one thing still very funny. You remember in Albany, its governor he say we are rogues? In Quebec, this French governor he say we are rogues. And now this King Sherwood, very smart fellow, he say the same thing.

      Pierre Esprit Radisson: Oui?

      Gooseberry: Do... Maybe he's right. Maybe we are rogues.

      Pierre Esprit Radisson: Certainement. You never knew this before?

    So So Frontier Picture

    Frontier picture mostly set in Canada but the film's English scenes feature Vincent Price as King Charles II with his paramour, Nell Gwynn. Gene Tierney is second billed but has little to do apart from be beautiful and act as love interest to John Sutton. Star Paul Muni alongside Laird Cregar are two roguish French/Canadian fur trappers. Nigel Bruce is billed 7th as Prince Rupert but does not enter the film until it is almost halfway through and though he is decent enough, the serious nature of his role doesn't allow him to shine.
