Where oh where is this movie?  I have to find it, watch it, and comment on how bad and/or good it is. Have you seen it Julie?

EDIT – Some of the comments on IMDB ARE PRICELESS….. check it out at

This is from someone who was actually on the set during shooting of “Saskatchewan” in the comment section on IMDB. I have not edited this any way.

I was there on location for this film and it was filmed mostly in Alberta in the vicinity of Lake Louise and Banff. It rained a lot during the filming and a lot had to be redone at the studio. I was an extra and mostly rode horses and was a dead man in several scenes. As a kid it was a great experience.

Alan Ladd was wonderful as was Carrol, Shelly and Raoul. They fed us well and we stayed in small out buildings, like motel buildings, near the Banff Springs Hotel.

I had to leave early to do a film with Jeff Chandler and I had a commitment at the Pasadena Playhouse at that time also. My last theatre work was in 1960 when I had to give up show business for health reasons — I needed to eat!

Hope this clears up the question of where it was filmed.
