It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This is a GREAT movie! Highly recommended for everyone. I saw this movie as a child and loved it then. Seeing it again, now as a father of two, more than twenty years later; it is STILL a wonderful movie! Today's world is full of harsh news, disrespect, and a hardened society. This is one of those movies that will take you back to a different time when people actually cared about life and each other! I don't understand hendersn75's awful review at all. I live in Alaska. If he knew what it was like to live here, let alone try to film in this environment, I think he would change his mind. I think the cinematography in this film, especially considering being a 70's film, is simply wonderful. This was all done entirely on location, unlike most films of today. If you see this movie and like it, then also check out "The Dove" 1974, a true story. Not as visually stimulating as "Sea Gypsies", but very interesting also.

Beautiful scenery, romantic and just enough action. A Seattle yachtsman, his two daughters, a stowaway and a young reporter are stranded on an Alaskan island. At times a little too "touchy, feely", but a tender and warm family flick. Robert Logan is convincing as the cool dad and Miki Jamison-Olsen is very good as the reporter. Rescuing a caribou is tender, while the salmon catching scene is a relaxed frolic. Scenes of the natural wildlife are wonderful. Nothing here to really cause you any stress...sit back, relax and enjoy.

This is one of the best Stewart Rafill films. The plot and story are exciting and well written. The acting is well done, particularly the character played by Mikki Jamieson-Olsen. The location wilderness settings were beautifully photographed. An excellent and very memorable film.

I don't know how in the world this movie has gotten 7.1 so far, because it is the absolute worst. I was flipping through the channels last night and saw it on HBO Family and laughed my butt off through the last hour of it. I couldn't stop watching because it was so bad it was hilarious!!! Even if it is supposed to be a family movie, it still sucked!!!
