The Mountie Goes Hollywood

The scarlet-clad mountie, with his heroic deeds and lantern jaw, was tailor-made for the silver screen. The public, through novels and then movies, were fascinated with the rugged frontier and its mounted police. During the 1930's RCMP officers were seconded to Hollywood studios to act technical advisors because of the large number of movies being produced involving the Force. Perhaps the most famous of these was Rose Marie (1936), starring Jeanette MacDonald and the crooning Nelson Eddy. Comic books dramatizing the mounties were also very popular, and like Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, depicted a fair, forthright and fearless lawman, who with his faithful service dog King "always got their man."
