I read the book several years ago, and just saw an advertisment for the film in a newspaper last week. I’m considering seeing the film because while stationed in Alaska in the late 80s to early 90s, I used to hunt moose and caribou near Healey.
I thought the scenery might be good for a walk down memory lane. Any idea if it was filmed on location?
... BUT ....
I'll bet the film is 'fact received as idealized fiction' just as Never Cry Wolf was 'fiction accepted as fact'.
The film has been highly recommended to me, but the article is the only "review" I've read.
I know nothing of the production qualities.
