Emperor of the North Pole

"It is a period of great recessions in the US, and the land is full of people who fought in the World War and are now homeless. Those people, commonly called "hobos", are truly hated by Shack (Borgnine), a sadistical railway conductor who swore that no hobo will ride his train for free. Well, no-one but "A" Number One (Lee Marvin), who is ready to put his life as a stake to become a local legend - as a first person who survived the trip on Shack's notorious train"--Internet movie database.

  • "A prolonged duel between two larger-than-life combatants, A No. 1, the supreme hobo (Marvin) and Shack (Borgnine) the deadliest railwayman, is set in the Depression years of the thirties. Aldrich and the writer, Knopf, conceived of the characters as symbols of Establishment and Anti-establishment with youthful opportunism represented by Cigaret (Carradine). The amalgam of vividly staged action, ambiguity of characterisation, suggestions of the tall-tale and the stylisation of dialogu, posture and groupings not unlike that of a musical, combine to resist 'Emperor's' effectiveness as the allegory the filmmakers apparently intended."@en

  • ""Set in America during the Great Depression, Emperor of the North is the story of a violent battle of wills between a sadistic train guard, Shack, who has vowed that no vagrant will ride his train and survive, and a single-minded drifter, Number 1, who is determined to make a lie of the boast"--Container."
  • "Set on the Pacific Northwest railways at the height of the Depression, this is the story of how a crafty, train-hopping drifter, "A-No. 1," and his young accomplice encounter Shack, a sadistic railroad conductor who has sworn that no hobo will ride his train for free. "A" is ready to put his life at stake to become a local legend - as the first person who survived the trip on Shack's notorious train."
  • "Durante la grande depressione americana, il brutale capotreno del merci numero 19 si fa un punto d'orgoglio di non permettere a nessun vagabondo di viaggiare sui suoi vagoni: verrà sfidato a duello da quello che tutti chiamano Numero 1 in uno scontro all'ultimo sangue in cui si inserirà anche un altro "hobo".
