i be impress by the beautiful photography in this film and which be shoot on location in alaska . although technically a melodrama and we see lot of activity eskimo be involve in and such a hunting and dancing and building igloo and etc . and their custom and such a offer their wife to visitor and be routinely in the story . the hunting sequence be sometimes from stock footage and a it be easy to recognize some rear projection scene of animal and but even these be fascinate . spear fishing for salmon and hunting for walrus and caribou and even a polar bear and a whale make it seem like a documentary at time . there be no cast listing and which reinforce the documentary flavor . the film maker try to make it seem very authentic and with the native speak only in an eskimo language that be either translate by someone on screen or by intertitles . the introduction state that except for the white trader and the royal mount canadian police and there be no actor in the film and but this be not strictly true . the two lead character and play by mala and lotus long and be eskimos by birth and but be professional actor with credit for early film and you could see sometimes they have makeup on . but they be excellent in their role and they go on to have hollywood career . all in all and the film be definitely worth a look .
