This documentary film (Death of a Legend, 1971) by Bill Mason is about wolves and the negative myths surrounding the animal. Exceptional footage portrays the wolf's life cycle and the social organization of the pack, as well as other film of caribou, moose, deer and buffalo. Mason later made a feature documentary on wolves (Cry of the Wild, 1972) that played theatrically throughout North America and earned $5 million at the box office.
This feature-length documentary from Bill Mason imparts his affection for the big northern timber wolves and the pure-white Arctic wolves. Filmed over three years in the Northwest Territories, British Columbia, the High Arctic and his home near the Gatineau Hills in Quebec, Mason sets out to dispel the myth of the bloodthirsty wolf. Going beyond the wolf's natural habitat, Mason relocated three young wolves to his own property and was able to film tribal customs, mating and birth. As a result, Cry of the Wild (1972) offers viewers access to moments in wildlife never before seen on film.
Filmed by Bill Mason in caribou country, this nature film closely observes wolves through late winter into early spring. Wolf Pack (1974) shows this creature’s character, behavior and life cycle. What emerges is a portrait of the wolf as a disciplined hunter, respected leader and committed parent.
