Klondike is a 1932 English-language Adventure Drama motion picture written by Tristram Tupper and directed by Phil Rosen and produced by William T. Lackey. Dr. Robert Cromwell performs a delicate operation, that has never been done before, and the patient dies. Charged with malpractice and manslaughter, his trial is national news but the jury acquits him. But the court of public opinion is still against him, and the medical board is meeting to decide whether or not to take his medical license away from him. Before they do, Cromwell, an amateur pilot, decides to join his friend, WWI Ace Donald Evans, on a flight to Alaska looking for a shorter route to Japan by following the Aleutian Islands. They crash in Alaska and Evans is killed, but Cromwell is rescued by a fur trapper named Tom Ross. He takes Cromwell to Armstrong's Trading Post, where is is nursed back to health by Klondike, a girl who works for Armstrong, and was engaged to marry Armstrong's son Jim. The latter is suffering from the same disease that Cromwell's last patient had. Mark talks Cromwell into performing the same operation again and, this time, it is a success. Or would have been if Jim hadn't decided to fake it being a failure. Written by Les Adams. Klondike features Thelma Todd, Lyle Talbot, Henry B. Walthall, Jason Robards Sr., Priscilla Dean, Tully Marshall and Henry Roquemore. Cinematography was done by James S. Brown Jr. and Archie Stout and editing by Carl Pierson. The movie has a running time of 68 minutes. It was released on 30th August 1932. Distribution rights for the film were acquired by Monogram Pictures.
