Alaska Highway

1943 Paramount Film -- Dir: Frank McDonald

starring Richard Arlen, Jean Parker, Ralph Sanford

Major John Ormsby, head of the Ormsby Road Building Company, accepts the most important and dangerous job of his life - a contract to build a road connecting the United States to Alaska, a military necessity after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Compelled by patriotic duty, the men of the company join the U.S. Engineer Corps and begin their 1600 mile journey north, cutting and blasting eight miles a day through dense trees and rock, knowing that if the Japanese invaded, the road would have to be ready. Pushing themselves and their equipment to the limit in the rough Canadian wilderness, the men must pull together to survive the brutal cold and natural disasters they encounter. To keep up morale, the crew entertain themselves with practical jokes, dreaming of warmer days, romantic affairs and an electric blanket. However, when Ormsby's sons begin to fight over a woman they both love, the bitter rivalry puts family, careers, lives and the whole operation at risk.

1931 RKO Film -- Dir: Herbert Brenon

starring Ralph Forbes, Loretta Young, Irene Rich, Lester Vail

A handsome young American, Otis Madison volunteers for the French Foreign Legion to fulfill an urgent, personal mission - to find his old, childhood playmate, John Geste, rescue him from the horrors of a military prison in the African desert and bring him home to his sweetheart Isobel (Loretta Young). Thwarted by a fanatical force of Arab tribesmen, the unrelenting harshness of the scorching, desert sun, blinding sandstorms and forced marches, the American born legionnaire is undeterred from his heroic quest. This tale of bravery and human endurance features spectacular battle scenes and desperate cavalry charges, while vast desert expanses contrast the opulent grandeur of the Emir's royal palace. Long-lost, this sequel continues the saga of "Beau Geste" - the 1926 epic starring Ronald Coleman and Victor McLaglen.
