The White Dawn (1974) Online
In 1896, three whalers are stranded in the Arctic North Canada and seek refuge with an Eskimo tribe. Gradually, they gain control with the Eskimo village and introduce gambling, booze, theft, and their special variation of sex. In the beginning, the Eskimos accept it, but slowly the cultural tension starts growing.

According to producer Irwin Winkler, this movie was the main factor in his decision to invite Director Philip Kaufman to direct Uomini veri (1983). Portions of Henry Mancini's score for this film can be heard in the later film.
