    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In real life, Farley Mowat's research in the Caribou changed the way humans understand the wolf species.
    • Goofs
      The lead claims the wolves eat mice, which he proceeds to eat, but they are voles, not mice (which don't occur in the arctic).
    • Quotes

      Rosie: We're all of us prospectors up here, eh, Tyler? Scratchin' for that... that one crack in the ground. Never have to scratch again. I'll let you in on a little secret, Tyler: the gold's not in the ground. The gold's not anywhere up here. The real gold is south of 60 - sittin' in livin' rooms, stuck facin' the boob tube, bored to death. Bored to death, Tyler.

    Quiet Majesty
    "Never Cry Wolf" is a good reason why I like the movies. Human characters, compelling story, warm humor and breathtaking scenery (with the Atlin area in Northwestern British Columbia filling in for Alaska) combine to make it a favorite of mine.

    "Tour de Force" doesn't seem quite the right turn of phrase for Charles Martin Smith's performance as the scientist Tyler for such a low-key character but he is the heart of the movie. It's especially noticeable when I associate Mr. Smith as Toad in "American Graffiti". His scene with the wolves and caribou is amazing and primal.

    Samson Jorah is marvelous as the Inuit Mike ("He says, 'Great idea!'")

    What a treat it is to watch compared to all the noise and quick-cut editing that dominate modern movies.
