    A very touching piece

    I remember seeing this movie at the cinema on its release, a beautiful touching film, with some fantastic scenes incorporating the animals that also appear. To date I have been unsuccessful in obtaining a copy on DVD or Blu-ray.

    One of the best ever

    This film is one of the best memories I have from childhood. Having always loved Tigers my Mum took me to see it.

    It is absolutely amazing. Its is one of those films that leaves a lasting impression on you. The image of Tigers running through the snow with it all spraying around is still in my head some 25 yrs on, not many films have managed that, As other comments have said photography is stunning. A must see. I have also been looking for the film for some time with no luck at all. :-(. Checking Amazon every now and then reveals nothing, not even listed. If anyone does know of a source, please contact me or post here. Tim

    I agree with the above comment

    I saw this movie alone when i was an early teen in my hometown in India, at a time when the only thing that fascinated me aside from girls were Tigers. I came home after watching it, with a glazed look in my eye, wanting to be that bloke in the movie that befriended the Tigers. What a movie and what a moment that was! The theatre I saw it in does not exist any and has given way to a shopping mall. I don't know how i'd feel about it now after so many years and do not want to spoil a childhood memory by finding this movie available on DVD or something similar and not finding it interesting anymore. I have learned from previous experience that a childhood memory is often tarnished when one travels life's jaded highways occasionally trying to rediscover their unadulterated past by way of movies, only to find its gushing innocence completely soppy and not welcome anymore. And I do not want to throw away the experiences of a memory of this movie into the wind. I do not have kids, so i probably am being selfish in leaving this movie in a sepia toned area of my brain, not wanting it on DVD. But if you are at a precocious age and want to recollect in later years memories of an endearing childhood, try to watch this film(if you can ever). It'll be really worth it.

    1974 ?

    I remember this film,it was the first film i had watched at the cinema the picture was dark in places i was very nervous it was back in 74/75 my Dad took me my brother & sister to Newbury cinema in Newbury Berkshire England. I recall the tigers and the lots of snow in the film also the appearance of Grizzly Adams actor Dan Haggery i think one of the tigers gets shot and dies. If anyone knows where to find this on DVD etc please let me know.The cinema now has been turned in a fitness club which is a very big shame as the nearest cinema now is 20 miles away, would love to hear from others who have seen this film or any other like it.

    Best Wild Life Film

    This is one of the best Wildlife films ever made. Unfortunately, it is not from one of the major studios & hence not much publicity is done. or saved.

    It is almost impossible to get a copy of this film. I have been searching for last 2-3 years.

    It is a must see for all wildlife lovers.

    This movie had a very touching tale of a trapper who befriends wild Siberian tigers & lives with them. It had some of the best tiger filming ever.

    If anyone ever gets a copy of this, I would like to know about it.

    DON'T MISS THIS FILM!!

      The only theatrical feature in which veteran character actor Henry Brandon got to play a sympathetic lead. For most of his 55-year Hollywood career he was typecast in villainous supporting roles.
