Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Smirk City
How can a movie at the end of the "golden era" with three major stars prove to be a dud. Welcome to The Spoilers. The script is weak, containing some real howlers. Marlene is wooden; her face seems to be painted on. (Would that she had danced and tried to sing.) Wayne and Scott smirk through every scene. Even the lengthy fight scene is poorly done; it's fun to watch the double for Scott appear and reappear in the long shots. Oh yes, and the story was supposed to take place in Nome. See if ...

Rating:  - Marlene Dietrich...once again torn between John Wayne and Randolph Scott
In THE SPOILERS, we can once again enjoy the unusual star combination of Dietrich, Scott and Wayne in a rollicking adventure set against an Alaskan boom-town circa the 1890's. "The Spoilers" by Rex Beach had already been adapted for the screen several times, but this is the version most people are familiar with.
The town of Nome is at the height of the gold-rush, and saloon owner Cherry Malotte (Marlene Dietrich) becomes the object of desire in a vendetta between cheated miner Roy Glennister ... Read More

When honest ship Captain Roy Glennister (Wayne) get swindled out of his mine clime , he returns to seductive saloon singer Cherry Malote (Dietrich) for assistance in his battle with no-good town kingspin Alexander McNamara (Scott) .

Rating: - THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE LADY
THE SPOILERS is based on a novel written by Rex Beach The Spoilers. In 1942, it was already the fourth time Hollywood producers were adapting the book whose last adaptation was released in 1955. I sincerely would have liked to sing without limitation the praises of the film like all the precedent reviewers here but I honestly can't. Director Ray Enright was not John Ford nor Anthony Mann and all the Hollywood stars wouldn't have changed the fact that this movie is a good B-movie but not a masterpiece.

Rating: - Dietrich, Scott & Wayne star in this fast-paced mixture of adventure, romance and saloon brawls.
John Wayne may well be billed third behind Marlene Dietrich and Randolph Scott In this forth and best version of THE SPOILERS but it was Wayne's star that was in the ascendancy, most of Dietrich's best work was behind her and Scott from the mid 1940's on was mostly in above average B-Westerns. Also starring Harry Carey former cowboy star of hundreds of early westerns and a favourite of director John Ford.
THE SPOILERS was from a 1906 novel by Rex Beach the story is set in the mud splattered mining town ... Read More
