On this day in movie history - Eureka (1983):


Eureka

directed by Nicolas Roeg,
written by Paul Mayersberg,
based on the book Who Killed Sir Harry Oakes? by Marshall Houts,
was released in the United States on October 5, 1984.
Inspired by the true 1943 Sir Harry Oakes murder case.
Music by Stanley Myers.

Poem quoted in final scene is a verse from Spell of the Yukon by Robert W. Service:

There’s gold, and it’s haunting and haunting;
It’s luring me on as of old;
Yet it isn’t the gold that I’m wanting
So much as just finding the gold.
It’s the great, big, broad land ’way up yonder,
It’s the forests where silence has lease;
It’s the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It’s the stillness that fills me with peace.
