Storyline
Archie Grey Owl is a trapper in Canada in the early 1930s when a young Iroquois woman from town asks him to teach her Indian ways. They live in the woods, where she is appalled at how trapped animals die. She adopts two orphaned beaver kits and helps Archie see his way to stop trapping. Instead, he works as a guide, a naturalist writer, and then the Canadian government hires him to save the beaver in a conserve by Lake Ajawaan in Prince Albert National Park. He writes a biography, which brings him attention in Canada and invitations to lecture in England. Before he leaves, he and Anahareo (Pony) marry. In England, his secret is revealed. Will Anahareo continue to love him?Movie Reviews
Richard Attenborough
who already given us magnific films as "A Chorus Line" and "Gandhi",
once more surprise us making a beautiful hymn to the Nature. Indeed, the
vast and (in that time) unexplored territory of Canada helps to compose
the stunning beauty of the landscapes picked up by the motion picture
camera. If the movie is really based on a true story, once more becomes
evidente that "men of vision" are, in truth, men that lives beyond
their time, with a historical perspective that only the Time will give
them reason. The cinematography is magnificient, such as the cast lead
by Pierce Brosnan, whose performance is due to Attenborough's master
hands. A pleasing surprise is the appearance of Annie Galipeau in the
role of Archie's beloved. Movie that must appears in a list of those who
really loves the Nature...
