Plot[edit]
Texas Ranger Dusty Rivers (Gary Cooper) is sent to Canada during the 1880s in pursuit of outlaw Jacques Corbeau (George Bancroft), arriving in the midst of the Riel Rebellion (1885). Dusty meets nurse April Logan (Madeleine Carroll) and is attracted to her, causing rivalry with another suitor, Canadian Mountie Sergeant Jim Brett (Preston Foster).
Meanwhile, April's brother, Mountie Ronnie Logan (Robert Preston), is madly in love with Corbeau's daughter, Louvette (Paulette Goddard), feelings which are fully reciprocated, despite them being on opposite sides.
Louvette learns that the rebels plan to attack a lookout post manned by Ronnie and then ambush a Mounties column which is trying to seize an abandoned store of ammunition which would be invaluable to the rebels. By crushing the column, the rebels will demonstrate to wavering Indian forces that the rebellion is worth joining. To keep Ronnie safely out of the ambush, of which he is unaware, Louvette persuades him to leave his post for an hour, and then has him confined by Indians.Dusty helps the Mounties to mount a rearguard action against the ambushers. Sergeant Jim then leads a small detachment from the fort to the Indian camp where he persuades them to allow him to arrest Corbeau. Dusty tracks down Louvette's hideout and convinces Ronnie to surrender to face a desertion charge, but Ronnie is killed in a case of mistaken identity.
Afterwards, Dusty accepts April’s decision to stay with Jim and returns to Texas.

Production[edit]
Due to budget restrictions, North West Mounted Police was filmed at sound stages at the Paramount lot as well as on location in Oregon and California, even though the film was based on a real life incident in Saskatchewan, Canada.[6] Principal photography began on March 9, 1940. Although Gary Cooper stars, the lead role was originally given to Joel McCrea, on contract at that time, but Cooper traded roles so that McCrea could star in Foreign Correspondent (1940).[7] DeMille narrated portions of the story, a practice he followed in all of his Technicolor films.[8][N 2]

Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
In homage to the historical region portrayed in North West Mounted Police, the world premiere for the film took place on October 21, 1940, in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.[9] The film became Paramount's biggest box-office hit of 1940 and garnered some favourable contemporary reviews from critics, as well.[6]Variety noted: '.. scripters weave a story which has its exciting moments, a reasonable and convincing romance ..'[10]Later reviews were much less complimentary. Leonard Maltin called it 'DeMille at his most ridiculous .. [a] superficial tale of Texas Ranger searching for fugitive in Canada. Much of outdoor action filmed on obviously indoor sets.'[11]North West Mounted Police was listed in the 1978 book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time (1978).

Notes[edit]
- ^The north-west region that is featured in the film would later become the Province of Saskatchewan.[4]
- ^DeMille was unable to complete the narration for the 1958 version of The Buccaneer, in which he, visibly frail at the time due to an ultimately terminal illness, appeared only in the prologue.[8]
