As a teenager I thought it was a very good film - @Thursday, October 11, 2018 4:51 AM

BUCK: Tell me about the Eskimo film. O'TOOLE: Oh Christ. I'd forgotten about that. It was the funniest thing I've ever been in. There was a small part in this story about an Eskimo for an Irish Canadian mounted policeman who goes to arrest this Eskimo, the Eskimo saves his life and insists that he sleep with his wife. He gets to adore the Eskimo and his wife, but the Eskimo must turn himself in. The Eskimo insists on being arrested and the only way he can get rid of the Eskimo is by kicking him in the face. That's how it started off but they changed it every day and I suddenly turned out to be French Canadian; there was a marvelous moment where they rewrote so much they got stuck. They'd got huskies and polar bears and all sorts of things and they didn't know how to get this sledge made. So I suggested the Eskimo should eat me, that would have given him nourishment, then make a sledge out of my bones and skin. They said we want a happy ending and I said "Couldn't he whistle." - @Saturday, April 8, 2017 12:15 PM
