Best Cinematography, Color (Migliore Fotografia a Colori) | 1961
It was seeing this film, as an upcoming singer/songwriter, that inspired the young Bob Dylan to write the song "The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo)."
Star Anthony Quinn and director Nicholas Ray both studied architecture with Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1930s.
Peter O'Toole demanded that his name be removed from the film's opening and closing credits because his voice was dubbed by another actor. (His name appears in the closing, but not opening, credits).
Screenwriter Hans Ruesch never saw an Eskimo, but based his story on the film Eskimo (1933).
Anthony Quinn and Peter O'Toole's first film together, followed by "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962).
"Missionary: The Lord be with you. Inuk: No, just Asiak, Powtee and me. We do not know Lord. Missionary: A very short sleep ago, you both offended Him. Inuk: Oh, we did not know. One must apologize. Missionary: If you will listen to my words and believe in me,the Lord will come and stay with you and follow you in all your travels. Asiak: [whispers to Inuk] We do not want another with us. Inuk: Maybe he good hunter. [to Missionary] Inuk: We will be pleased if your friend comes with us. Asiak: He must bring his own sled. Will this Lord bring everything He needs? Missionary: He will bring you faith. Inuk: [Puzzled look on face] Faith? Missionary: That wonderful light that drives back the shadows of sin. Inuk: [after a moment's thought] OH, light, LIGHT, ahhh... Asiak: It is good, Inuk,if it is the kind at the trading post, we could save it up for the winter, and our eyes will not get tired anymore... Inuk: [Offering missionary a bowl of food with live worms wriggling in it] Here is something you will like... Missionary: [Pushing bowl away] I come to give, not to receive. Asiak: It is old marrow, it is much better, it is old and full of worms... Missionary: Maybe another time, not right now. Inuk: [whispers to Asiak] Has this white man come to insult us? Missionary: Men don't live by bread alone. Asiak: [to Inuk] Maybe he wants to laugh with a woman."
"Asiak: [Showing Inuk their newborn baby] It came to pass that a woman brought forth a child. Inuk: [Not comprehending at first] How so? [Holds up baby] Inuk: Someone has seen bear cubs that were better looking Asiak: He will improve as he grows, but he has everything he needs.Even a name. His name is Papik. Inuk: How do you know his name is Papik? Asiak: Because this useless woman likes that name. Inuk: [laughs and plays with infant and touches its mouth, then suddenly freezes mid-air] Asiak, he has no teeth, You must have broken some taboo! Asiak: Not to my knowledge! Inuk: Did we see land animals together with sea animals? Asiak: [Emphatically] Of course not!How about you breaking some taboo?Perhaps it goes to the white man? [In reference to missionary that Inuk accidentally killed previously] Inuk: [after prolonged silence] Maybe"
