The Trail of '98 (1928)


THE TRAIL OF '98  (1928)

    Karl Dane, Tully Marshall, George Cooper
A silent epic in which adventurous characters from all over the map head for the Klondike, hoping to strike it rich in the gold fields. Few of them do. The story's secondary to the harsh depiction of life in late-19th-century Alaska. It's enough to make you glad you didn't live there then, but Dolores Del Rio could make anybody reconsider.
