I gave it 4 stars just for being there to do it. It came on TV and I decided to give it a try. It is no more or less that what it purports to be. A few men, small family get 3 wild wolves to observe in the wilderness. They get together to build a cabin and pen for the wolves. I am not sure what kind of experiment it is, not scholarly for sure. It appears he, Gordon, set up his own model and guidelines but there it is. An essentially dialog-less script voice over and sounds that may or may not be real-time. It might be good for a young family to see how adventurous folk might take on a task like this in 1970. It appears that they spend 4 seasons up there, the whole family starts off in the first summer there and Gordon, from Jackson Hole to begin with, expresses a desire not to be there at all right from the start. The initial trepidation does not bode well for the movie from the perspective of a viewer. It is slow, ponderous and boring akin to travel log and, quite honestly,having seen it on TV, I looked forward to some commercials. but in deference to the film, it would be for a young audience accompanied by parents for the wild side of life in nature. I know it is not available at my local movie outlets and I live in a city with access to all chains in eastern US. It is essentially moot since I believe the only way to catch this is the way I just have: serendipitous intervention.
