Carroll Ballard's 1983 adaptation of Farley Mowat's autobiographical novel turns his life-changing experience studying the wolves in Canada's inhospitable North into a moving drama of one man's courage and discovery of nature's majesty. Charles Martin Smith plays green biologist Tyler, sent by the Canadian government to "prove" that the wolves are depleting the caribou herds, but what he finds is a natural world in perfect harmony where he becomes a tolerated outsider. Dumped unprepared in the wilds by a hard drinking bush pilot (Brian Dennehy), Tyler learns survival skills from the aged Eskimo who saves his life and the rules of coexistence from a neighboring wolf (which results in a literal pissing contest as man and beast mark their respective territories). Tyler's journey culminates in the majestic run with the wolf pack, an exhilarating sequence where for an instant he becomes one with natural environment of the wilds. For all its beauty, however, Tyler's experience becomes a bittersweet lesson as the encroachment of hunters, tourism, and the social landscape threaten the natural order. As in his previous film, the delicate and lovely The Black Stallion, Ballard's astounding visual treatment captures the awesome natural beauty of the Canadian wilderness with power and poignancy. Kevin Costner's Oscar-winning Dances with Wolves explores many of the themes presented in this film, but without the resonance or beauty of Ballard's unsung masterpiece. --Sean Axmaker

Crockett Critique.......2007-09-05
Though a rough adaptation of Farley Mowat's superb 1963 story, this Disney classic puts into proper perspective the wolf-caribou-human relationship which unfolds to this day. It serves as a reminder - sometimes humourously - of how far our species has placed itself apart from the animal kingdom, and the resulting environmental degradation which often occurs. If only for the awe-inspiring scenery and the acting of the main characters - Rosie the Bushpilot (Brian Dennehy) especially - this movie is both entertaining & educational.
Bring the world of the wolves to your home........2007-08-24
This movie shows the magic of nature with a small cast and amazing country. My family has worn out the VCR copy of this movie and have now got the DVD version. It is a great family entertainment that can be watched time and again. The production is also of high standard and helps make this first rate viewing.
Never Cry Wolf.......2007-07-09
Under-rated family adventure film (best for older kids) is not only stunning to look at, with Ballard's superb on-location photography, but delivers a cautionary tale about the importance of protecting delicate ecosystems and fading species against encroaching civilization, vividly represented by Dennehy's group hunting trip later in the film. The talented and appealing Smith carries this special movie along, supported by some truly majestic-looking wolves. In short, "Never" will always be worth the trip.
Oldie but goodie.......2007-06-12
I'm a big fan of Charlie Martin Smith, and somehow I had overlooked this movie. Could only find it on Amazon, of course. I enjoyed the movie very much, and enjoyed the ease of finding it and buying it on Amazon.
buy it for you or your kids.......2007-04-30
A friend introduced me to this movie on videodisc (yes, you read that right). I loved it and recently bought it for my (grown) daughter. Definitely in the 'must see' list for anyone who cares about the environment, is jaded about the 'help' we're getting from the government, consipiracy theorists, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a few hours of good entertainment and great scenery.

Product Description
John Hurt plays Forbrush, a spoilt rich post graduate student who is supposed to be studying biology at the University of London. He is very good in his chosen field, but is largely wasting his time drinking and chasing women. He decides that he wants to impress Haley Mills, and semi- accidentally gets signed up for a 6 month tour studying penguins on his own in Antarctica. Once there, his loneliness drives him half mad, and he becomes paternally attached to the penguins he is supposed to be studying. In the course of the six months he grows up and becomes an adult as opposed to the fop that he was.

An Interesting Antarctic Tale.......2006-04-18
The dvd I received was from a cheapie video label and had a different (awful looking) box art cover and was transferred from videotape to dvd. I wish this movie gets an official dvd release because if you like antarctic films of survival and man alone you will like this film. If you liked "March of the Penquins" I would recommend this one. Starts off in swinging 70's London and with John Hurt chasing girls and Hayley Mills looking her best as a mature love interest. After about half an hour we are in the antarctic and studing the behavior of penquins and birds that prey on their nests.
