Northwest Mounted Police Overview:
Northwest Mounted Police (1940) was a Action - Adventure Film directed by Cecil B. DeMille and produced by Cecil B. DeMille, William LeBaron and William H. Pine.
SYNOPSIS
History according to DeMille and his first excursion into Technicolor. This carefully manicured action-adventure takes place in the deep forests and expansive mountains of the Canadian Northwest (really a pine forest built by DeMille on the Paramount backlot). The Canadian Riel Rebellion, an uprising by half-breed rebels and Indians, rages in the background as Texas Ranger Cooper comes looking for murderer Bancroft. He moves in with the red-coated Mounted Police and attracts the attention of both Mountie Foster's girl Carroll and the half-breed temptress Goddard.
