Kino Lorber are preparing a Blu-ray release of Philip Kaufman's
The White Dawn (1974), starring Warren Oates, Timothy Bottoms, and Louis Gossett Jr. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Description: In 1896, three American whalers are taken in by an Eskimo village in the Arctic after getting stranded in the ice during a hunt. While condescending officer Billy (Warren Oates) introduces the Inuits to gambling, black harpooner Portagee (Louis Gossett Jr.) grows closer to the villagers as he gets used to a life without racism. Cabin boy Daggett (Timothy Bottoms) becomes the most integrated in the community, falling in love with the clan leader's youngest wife.
