Nicholas Ray's epic film about Eskimo life and its remoteness from 'civilized' values represents his first -- and, in many ways, most ambitious -- attempt to break free from the Hollywood studios and forge an independent route.

The movie would have been better if it had been a documentary with authentic Eskimos, rather than having actors dressed up as indigenous peoples. [Full Review in Spanish]

Hollywood's Anthony Quinn is the primitive hero in a drama, beautifully-photographed but sometimes ludicrous in style...

Maclean's Magazine
Ray's portrait of Inuit life in the atomic age, and as with all of his later work, a curious blend of melodrama and pseudo-documentary

Rating: 2.5/5 --
His strange, disturbing drama will leave most of its viewers dissatisfied and some outraged, but few will remain indifferent.

Product Description:
Anthony Quinn added Eskimo to the many ethnic types he portrayed on film with this drama about a clash of cultures from director Nicholas Ray. Inuk (Quinn) is a typical Eskimo hunter, living proudly as his ancestors did, eking out an existence on the frozen Canadian tundra. When Inuk takes his wife and mother-in-law to a trading post to exchange furs, the family meets a friendly priest (Marco Guglielmi). In time-honored Eskimo custom, Inuk offers the missionary his wife's sexual favors. Offended by the man's rejection, Inuk kills him. Having broken Western law, Inuk is pursued by two Mounties (Peter O'Toole and Carlo Giustini). Slowed down by his wife's elderly mother, he sends the woman out on the ice to perish, another of his people's ancient traditions. The police capture Inuk, but the lawmen and their prisoner encounter severe weather. THE SAVAGE INNOCENTS (1959) was the feature debut of actor O'Toole, who objected to the overdubbing of his voice in the finished film.
