I wanted to live with Grizzly Adams 😦

Dan was in the very first movie I ever saw in a cinema.

My uncle’s then girlfriend took me to see the film but we came in half way through and we hung behind and watched the beginning later.

It was sort of a precursor to Grizzly Adams (the film not the book) in the sense it was about wilderness living and an outcast character living in harmony with a natural predator. It’s also a sign of those times that a film set in Siberia was ‘moved’ to Alaska (where the story makes zero sense) because of the Cold War.

The lead and the support characters switched roles.
Thom Pace’s theme to Grizzly Adams haunted me much like Joan Baez’s songs for Silent Running
Once again informing my hippy attitudes to non-human terrestrial species.
