Plot Summary

In the 1830's beaver trapper Flint Mitchell and other white men hunt and trap in the then unnamed territories of Montana and Idaho. Flint marries a Blackfoot woman as a way to gain entrance into her people's rich lands, but finds she means more to him than a ticket to good beaver habitat. Written by Ron Kerrigan

Trivia Clark Gable was ill during filming. He did not like the way he appeared in the movie, believing he looked too bloated and red in the face. He was widely felt to be too old for his character. See more »
Goofs Early in the movie (at the 7:12 mark), when Kamiah is talking to Flint about trading horses for a wife, there is a motor vehicle in the lower left corner driving along a road in the distance, although this story took place long before the automobile was invented. See more »
