Title: trying to find name of film. it's driving me mad.
Post by: suesteve13 on November 26, 2008, 10:16:03 AM
I saw a film made in the 90,s. It is a sort of goldrush town, very harsh snowy  conditions. A dark haired man with beard runs town with a rod of iron and makes the law, giving out harsh punishment. A young man is sent to the town, he is an engineer or something. He is  put up
in a hotel or a tent ( i can't remember only that everyone looked frozen ) with the town hookers. He falls for one who is also loved by the town owner who has the town church moved a couple of hundred yards to marry her in.
Can anyone put me out of my misery please.

Sounds familiar but I can't remember it's title either.  If it's the western I'm thinking of the "young man" went on to become a semi-famous actor.

Could be THE SHOOTER (1997) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120121/plotsummary), or more likely THE CLAIM (2000). (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218378/plotsummary)
