action
During the Klondike gold rush , John Calhoun ran a salon in the gold rush town of Malemute. He is a man with the past of a deceiver who hides here from the past and the police. One day Belle De Valle appears with her dance troupe. Belle was abandoned by John when he moved to the Yukon. The two approach each other again. This is complicated by the fact that the dancer Lettie Candless also develops an interest in the now apparently serious businessman.
background
Gypsy Rose Lee was pregnant by Otto Preminger at the time of filming .
reception
Variety judged the film to be a typical backyard musical. William Seiter would easily stage the fragile story and accentuate the characters to get over the thin story.
Susan King ruled in 2005 that the role in Belle of the Yukon had harmed Dinah Shore's acting career .
