Alaska Seas (Blu-ray)

Rugged screen greats Robert Ryan (Horizons West) and Brian Keith (The Rare Breed) star in this thrilling adventure yarn set in the frozen North. Matt Kelly (Ryan) is hired by his old pal Jim Kimmerly (Keith), the head of the local salmon fishermen who have formed a canning co-operative. The fishermen fight to keep a ruthless gang of fishing-trap robbers at bay. Matt, however, short on cash and morals, aims to join up with the raiders and steal Jim’s fiancée, Nicki (Jan Sterling, Flesh and Fury). A loose remake of the 1938 George Raft/Henry Fonda starrer Spawn of the North, Alaska Seas delivers action, adventure, romance—and avalanches! Directed by Jerry Hopper (Naked Alibi, Secret of the Incas) and co-starring Gene Barry (Those Redheads from Seattle) and Timothy Carey (The Killing).
