    • Trivia
      Rita Tushingham does not utter a single word in the entire film.
    • Goofs
      Jean Labête continually pronounces Québec in the English fashion, pronouncing the 'U' (Kwebek), despite being raised there, and presumably having French as his first language... He should pronounce it without the 'U', which in French is silent... (Kébek).
    • Quotes

      La Bete: When I'm a man, I'll take me a wife / We'll live in a house on the hill, the hill / With carriage and horses all white, all white / And she shall have diamonds and pearls, and pearls / And she shall have diamonds and pearls

    Fine, Gripping Drama
    Lush Canadian scenery that stretches as far as can be imagined, and yet this film manages to convey claustrophobia on the part of a traumatized girl compelled to wed a brutish-seeming fur trapper. The two leads play off each other very well. Miss Tushingham cannot speak yet shows powerful emotions in her facial expressions and body language. Mr. Reed gives a bravuro performance as a rough man trying to show his underdeveloped tender side. The plot is tight, the cinematography excellent, and the acting first-rate. One comment to those who wonder why Eve didn't use sign language or write: In frontier, fur-trapping Canada, when this film is set, most folks were illiterate and no universal sign language system had yet been developed. And sorry the Indians weren't acted by real ones, but that seems a minor point in light of the job the cast and crew did on an obviously limited budget. Flaws aside, this was a gripping love story.
