Inuk (Quinn) is a typical Eskimo hunter, living proudly as his ancestors did, eking out an existence on the frozen Canadian tundra. When Inuk takes his wife and mother-in-law to a trading post to exchange furs, the family meets a friendly priest (Marco Guglielmi). In time-honored Eskimo custom, Inuk offers the missionary his wife's sexual favors. Offended by the man's rejection, Inuk kills him. Having broken Western law, Inuk is pursued by two Mounties (Peter O'Toole and Carlo Giustini). Slowed down by his wife's elderly mother, he sends the woman out on the ice to perish, another of his people's ancient traditions. The police capture Inuk, but the lawmen and their prisoner encounter severe weather. The Savage Innocents (1959) was the feature debut of actor O'Toole, who objected to the overdubbing of his voice in the finished film.

Rating:  - my worst purchase
It only has one star, only because I have to fill in something, otherwise it would not have any. The DVD arrived with a spanish label, not the English one shown. When I contacted the seller he said it would show in English also. Then I discovered that it doesn't play on a normal DVD player. It only plays on an "all region" player, but since I've never heard of an "all region" player, I never suspected that it wouldn't play on mine. When I contacted the seller about this he basically said "too bad, ... Read More
Rating: - NICHOLAS RAY, OPUS 18
**** 1960. Based on Hans Ruesch's Top of World, THE SAVAGE INNOCENTS was written and directed by Nicholas Ray. Inuk, an Eskimo, accidentally kills a priest ignorant of the ancient traditions. Some years later, Inuk is arrested by a policeman but soon saves his life. A movie I saw some 35 years ago and that I never forgot so I didn't hesitate much to order this zone 2 DVD from Spain. Only filmographies and posters as bonus features. The copy, as though not perfect, respects the film format and is of ... Read More
Rating:  - Waiting for this movie to be released to general public for YEARS
My family has been waiting for this movie to be released for many years, and now it still has not been released in the format for the United States, this is one of the best movies Anthony Quinn and Peter O'Toole have performed in and we await the release in US Format so that we can obtain it. We hope that this will happen soon.
Rating: - Please Re-Release this Brilliant Movie
It has been many years since I saw this movie but it has been on my mind as a very modern film. It was released during a time when even the American Indians had yet to have a movie that portrayed them with sympathy. Yet, here was a film showing the native Inuit peoples (perhaps the first native Americans as they migrated from Asia) in a very realistic and sympathetic manner. I remember most, the values of the dominant culture in the film which is that of so called "Eskimos". I noticed that ... Read More
Rating:  - Good adventure film, with unusual casting
This movie, based on a book called "Top of the World" by author Hans Ruesch, is a very entertaining adventure set among the Eskimos. Set during the time that western ways were encroaching into the Eskimos natural habitat, and spanning several generations, it's about a native hunter, played by Anthony Quinn (!), who gets into trouble with the law, and becomes a fugitive, basically out of his ignorance of western customs (he killed a white man when he offended him by rejecting an invitation to lie in ...
