'Wolves' is a 1930 British crime film directed by Albert de Courville and starring Charles Laughton, Dorothy Gish and Malcolm Keen. The screenplay concerns a woman who is captured by a gang of criminals operating in the Arctic, only for the leader to later help her escape.[https://web.archive.org/web/20090117085550/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/424288 BFI.org] It was based on a play by Georges Toudouze. It was produced by Herbert Wilcox's British and Dominions Film Corporation, but filmed at the Blattner Studios whilst sound equipment was being installed at Wilcox's nearby Imperial Studios, and the sound was added after filming was completed.[http://www.learnaboutmovieposters.com/newsite/index/countries/UK/Distributors/BlattnerFilm/blattner.asp "Ludwig Blattner Film Corp."] LearnAboutMoviePosters.com (LAMP)
