Movie ORIGINALLY released under the title, "Emperor of the North Pole."  This was from a hobo boast about an imaginary title.  However, distributers apparently thought the title confused audiences into thinking this was a film about the polar frozen north!  The film was re-released under the revised title "Emperor of the North."  I was working with a TV station in the ad department and had to "tag" the coming events clip reel with the local theater name, got to see it a jillion times and when the station wanted to discard the old 16mm film, I got to take it home.

Actor shown, Lee Marvin as character A-number-1.

The trainconductor was played by Ernest Borgnine, and his character was called simply "Shack."  That is a generic old-time term for conductor.

Filmed on the Oregon, Pacific and Eastern.
