5.0 out of 5 stars The focus on the Alaskan wolf family was most interesting., December 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Wild - In the Company of Wolves with Timothy Dalton [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The way they played with each other and the obvious affection shown seemed a very human trait. The filming was very graphic in showing some of the wolf kills, not my favorite part but it added to the realism and overall interest in the film. I also enjoyed the beautiful scenery shown in the film and the information given on the wolves, and also on the brown bear and the salmon. I didn't know wolves had such a bad reputation but I'm glad they are being allowed to repopulate in the U.S. I found all of the information imparted by Mr. Dalton to be interesting and informative. Having enjoyed this episode I now want to see the other "In The Wild" series videos. I hope they'll be as good!

Timothy Dalton went in search of wolves in 1995. In this you can see how thrilled he was at finding them.

I videoed this when it was first on tv, and I've seen it so many times since it's getting a bit fuzzy.

This was when I first fell in love with wolves, and especially 'The Old Man', (also known as Left Shoulder). This program details the varying views toward the wolf, and how difficult it is to actually find them. It is filled with beautiful images and heart warming encounters.

It focuses especially on a family on Ellesmere Island, The Old Man's pack. It shows the obvious affection they have for each other, and how they tolerate the very few people they meet.

L. David Mech was Timothy Dalton's guide and was able to tell alittle of this family which has now been studying for nearly 15 years. That year there were 3 cubs, all of which survived at least their first few years, as shown in L. D. Mech's book 10 years with the pack.

At a lot has happened to the pack since, as was shown in a program called 'Wolves in white' from 1997. However that was the most up to date information I have yet seen on this particular pack.

It is a great example of the real personality of wolves, and could change the opinions of many.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wolves, January 20, 2002

This review is from: In the Wild - In the Company of Wolves with Timothy Dalton [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Although some programs where famous people meet interesting animals can be a bit oh-hum.. I found this one surprizingly not so.

I'm not sure if Mr Dalton did his own research on the background, or just used a script - but when he finally came to meet the wolves you could hear the surprize in his voice.

At first he was nervous about meeting creatures with such a darken reputation, but through-out the program you could hear him change from trepidation to wonderment and awe.

I trust that the producers kept Mr Daltons own observations in the program but here was a man who went in with open eyes and emerged 'touched' some something wonderful.

Its programs like these what can insite the common man to look more closer - rather than feeling isolated by the towers of acadamia.

Certainly this program gets my Rating.
