History / Biographical: "Far Country," 1954, directed by Anthony Mann and starring James Stewart, Ruth Roman, Corinne Calvet, and Walter Brennan. A Wyoming cowboy drives a herd of cattle from Skagway, Alaska, to the Klondike hoping to make a profit selling to beef-starved miners in Dawson City, Yukon. But he is bedeviled by a corrupt Skagway sheriff-judge and his gang. After his partner is killed on their gold claim, the cowboy takes the law into his own hands. Location filming for all mountain scenes filmed in Jasper National Park (Athabasca Glacier, Mount Edith Cavell). Bruno Engler appeared in costume as an extra while filming on location at the Athabasca Glacier, part of his role as safety officer for the film. At one point the crew was setting up under an icefall Engler deemed dangerous, ordering them out from under it - soon after, an avalanche came down and buried the location they'd been in. Fred Brewster provided 80 horses and 50 longhorn cattle from his Jasper outfit for the film. Also includes the October 1953 edition of "Universal International Studio Club News" newsletter covering the filming of "Far Country."

Scope & Content: File pertains to 89 b&w prints of production photos from the shoot of "Far Country," mostly shots from filming on location at the Athabasca Glacier and Mount Edith Cavell, as well as posed and set photographs of actors, extras, and crew.

Notes: Images of a woman and child posed in front of a cabin are Bruno Engler's wife and daughter.
