jojosmom Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Have been trying for years to find an old movie that used to be shown on tv over 30 years ago, but I don't know its name. It was about a city gal who married a mountie & tries to adapt to his life up north. Travel was by dog sled & there was an epidemic of smallpox or something among the indians. Can anyone figure out what this movie was called? I'm almost certain it's not available for home use, but perhaps it has yet to be restored & will show up some time. I can hope!

markfp2 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Welcome to the boards. I believe you're thinking of the 1949 film "MRS. MIKE" which starred Dick Powell and Evelyn Keyes. A few years ago, a company called Critic's Choice Video had it out on VHS, but it's never been released on DVD. I had it at one time, but gave it to a Canadian friend of mine who is a retired mountie. As I recall, the quality was pretty good. Perhaps, you can locate a used copy someplace. Good luck.

vallo13 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 They do have the film at Amazon.com But it's comes with an Outrageous price the cheapest is $125.00 dollars. markfp2 he must have been a good/good friend. Find the VHS here:http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00069IH7S/ref=pd_bbs_sr_olp_1?ie=UTF8&s=video&qid=1197661430&sr=1-1 vallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markfp2 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 He is a good friend, but when I bought it I think Critic's Choice was selling it for $4.95 new. Actually, I bought it with him in mind because he collects anything "mountie". I watched it once and passed it on. I certainly don't think the film is worth $125.00 just because it's out of print.

vallo13 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 It's funny how things inflate in price. It's like buying someone a Lottery Ticket for a Birthday Present or something and they win the million dollar prize. Then you start kicking yourself. But you can't put a price tag on friendship... vallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojosmom Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Thanks! This does sound like the movie I'm thinking of- I always thought of it as Mrs. Mike because of the character, but didn't know that was the title & have NEVER seen it anywhere.
