When the clash of cultures results in the accidental death of a missionary, Inuk must use all his skills to keep one step ahead of the two Mounties (Peter O'Toole and Carlo Giustini) determined to bring the killer to justice...

The Savage Innocents review by JD
Plain and simple
(0) of (1) members found this review helpful.
This 1959 film is pretty low budget by current standards and the action is plain and simple. The comparison of Eskimo with Western culture is done sensitively and objectively. The acting is a little bit theatrical with a feeling reminiscent of Saturday morning sci-fi. I enjoyed the film for its photography and portrayal of Arctic life but at the expense of the shock of seeing a young, pre-alcohol O'Toole.
