Rilettura, in chiave sottilmente morale, della leggenda del neonato cresciuto dalle scimmie e poi entrato in contatto con i contrasti e il "peso" della civiltà. Hudson (regista di Momenti di gloria) confeziona un prodotto godibile nonostante qualche incongruenza, splendidamente fotografato e con un Lambert in odore di divismo.
