This is a 1994 American epic drama directed by Edward Zwick, based on the 1979 novella of the same title by Jim Harrison. From World War I through the Prohibition era, ending with a brief scene set in 1963, the film shows the lives of three brothers and their father living in the wilderness and plains of Montana in the early 20th century and how their lives are affected by nature, history, war and love. It was filmed on location in Alberta and British Columbia. The World War I battlefield scenes took two weeks to film and were shot near Morley, Alberta, with hundreds of locals and a few Canadian Forces soldiers recruited as extras. The Ghost River Wilderness Area in Alberta served as the filming location for the Ludlow ranch. Gastown in Vancouver was augmented with period building facades for the Helena, Montana street scenes. Hotel scenes were shot at the Hotel Europe at 43 Powell Street in Vancouver. So this film appears quite interesting to Vancouverites as well as Albertans.
