In the gold town of Nome, Alaska, the streets are muddy and the residents are fixated on money. In the gold town of Nome in Alaska, a hotelier shows a potential guest the door because he no longer has a room available and a second later offers him room 24 because the occupant of room 24 just slides down the stairs to his death. The gold town of Nome in Alaska is a rough, unfriendly and dirty place where Marlene Dietrich, dressed in a refined evening dress, is a surreal appearance.

Nome is also a town with few women and many jealous men. In the first half hour, John Wayne and Randolph Scott buzz around Dietrich in a screwball-like dance. After that, the film increasingly evolves into a western that revolves around the hunger for gold. A western with strong male language, shootouts and a beautiful fight scene in the saloon, where the saloon takes on a completely different look. Apparently this scene started the tradition of including a saloon fight in a Western. 30 stuntmen and acrobats took part in the scene. The scene took ten days to film.

The Spoilers is a great western with good action and three great leading roles by Wayne, Scott and Dietrich. It is also nice that Dietrich does not burst into song for once. Since she plays the owner of a saloon, I was of course prepared for that. However, it did not happen. What peace.
