North Star

R, 90 min. Directed by Nils Gaup. Starring James Caan, Christopher Lambert, Catherine Mccormack.

Not reviewed at press time. Con men, mountain men, mistresses, and mining add up to high adventure in 19th-century Alaska. This Warner Bros. picture opened only in Austin and a couple other secondary markets and played here for one week. Why?
