I found this survival, revenge, tale extremely tedious. Once the exciting and almost fatal bear attack leaves Richard Harris hardly alive, John Huston and his boat on wheels abandons Harris to die. What follows is an extremely slow recovery, mostly with Harris crawling about to find food and avoid hostile Indians. Meanwhile, Huston proceeds towards the river where he hopes to float his boat downstream with a rich cargo of furs. Eventually Harris recovers enough to pursue Huston, but not until the audience is subjected to at least a bunch of truly boring flashbacks. Once the bear attack is over, what follows will test the patience of even the most forgiving viewer. I flat out did not enjoy "Man in the Wilderness", and it's molasses slow pacing. - MERK
