玛丽莲·梦露与罗伯特·米契姆主演的西部文艺片。 以淘金热时期的美国西北山区为背景，描写了两位主角患难相与的情感经历。 全片男女主角的感情进展描写得甚有感染力，外景的拍摄也相当优美。 本片背景是淘金热时代的美国西北山区——一名刚出狱的囚犯来到镇上接他的儿子回家，认识了照顾儿子的酒吧歌女，但也引起了歌女男友的怀疑。当获释的囚犯和儿子在农庄耕种时，歌女的男友前来寻衅，后来又偷了囚犯的枪和马，赶到矿区去淘金。歌女感到不忍心，留下来照顾囚犯。此时，印第安人前来突袭农庄，于是三人沿河流逃亡到镇上……

I can see people will either love or hate this movie, depending on your own experiences and loves. Its basically about a incredibly obese police officer coming to terms with his own mortality (he is given a year to live at the start of the movie). It has other bits and pieces in the plot (love, mystery etc), but these are not the central ideal of the movie. I found myself crying in many parts of this movie, for myself being fat (and have been my entire life... of course not to the degree of the main actor, but to a degree which has caused bullying my entire life) this story hits very close to home. And some of the subtle emotional behind the scene's stuff here definitely adds to the mood. Anyone who has had any sort of eating disorder (over or under eating whatever) will recognise things in this movie, and will more then likely be in tears by the first 30 minutes of the movie.
