Nomerama to Feature
“The Savage Innocents”
Playing Wednesday and Thurs
day at the Nomerama in techni
color and technirama, the Para
mount release offers movie-goers
an unusual glimpse at a primitive
people fighting for survival in a
distant comer of the globe.
“The Savage Innocents” is
based on the best-selling novel,
“Top of the World” by Hans
Ruesch. The book has been pub
lished in 15 languages and is con
sidered the final authority as a
realistic portrayal of Polar Eski
mo life. For the utmost in au
thenticity and realism the film
was taade mostly in the northern
most Arche wastes of Canada. It
has scenes, hitherto unphoto
graphed, of Eskimo life, together
with shpts of seal, walrus, caribou,
polar bear and other wild animals
native to hie region.
The versatile Academy Award
winning Anthony Quinn has one
of the most challenging roles of
his career as the simple but
courageous Eskimo hunter, Inuk.
The story concerns his taking a
wife, played 'by Miss Aani, and
what happens to the couple upon
contact with the civilization of
the white man. In addition to an
eye-opening view of a way of
life about which very little is
known by the average movie-,
goer, “liie Savage. Innocents’’
tells a dramatic and deeply mov
ing story of unusual people.
