The Savage Innocents

“Savage, sensational drama in this fantastic adventure!”

A missionary lies dead at a trading post, killed by accident, and the man who did it has barely met a white person before. Inuk (Anthony Quinn) lives by hunting in the Arctic with his wife Asiak (Yoko Tani), and now two troopers, one played early in his career by Peter O'Toole, are tracking him across the ice. Nicholas Ray shoots the white expanse in plain daylight and keeps his camera far back from the small figures crossing it.
