When The North Wind Blows (1974, dvd)

Synopsis: Powerful adventure story set in the snow covered wilderness of Alaska about a trapper and his developing friendship with a hunted Siberian tiger. Rejecting the idea of returning to village life following a tragic shooting accident, the old man chooses instead to become the adoptive parent of the tiger's two cubs when the mother tragically is shot by hunters.

Facing the challenges of the wilderness, he spends the rest of his life happily living with the rapidly growing cubs. He sets them free after they've been captured, battles a pack of hungry wolves, crosses the wilderness of the Northwest Frontier, and disappears to spend his life at peace with his animal friends.
