Courage of the North is a solid example of 1930s action-adventure, showcasing the rugged life of a Mountie in the Canadian wilderness. The pacing feels right for the era, with a nice blend of tension and camaraderie. John Preston, the lead, delivers a performance that feels authentic, matched well by the reliable presence of his horse, Dynamite, and a loyal dog, Captain.
