Movie Reviews

Monthly Film Bulletin - 8/10 by MFB CriticsThroughout, an atmosphere of sincerity of character is maintained by the entire cast, and to each and every one of them, whether star or supporting cast, credit is due.
User Review - 10/10 by Stuart%20 PA true classic of a time when you were allowed to be proud to be British. John Mills at his best as the heroic failure but a true hero nonetheless. Well made and a great supporting cazt.
User Review - 10/10 by Paul KA great film with a wonderful soundtrack and an emotional central performance from John Mills.
User Review - 8/10 by Missy TBrrr! Fantastic (although Scott wasn't actually as nice as John Mills portrays him!). Some amazing footage, gives an excellent sense of the hardships, sound track and effects are excellent. Great weatherbeaten make-up FX too.
User Review - 8/10 by Paul CClassic Ealing take on the ill-fated expedition with John Mills as the titular hero. Beautifully shot by Jack Cardiff no less and fantastic (for the time) make-up effects for the weather-beaten explorers.
User Review - 8/10 by Dave MClassic story of Scott's expedition to the South Pole. It is a very long time since I last saw this film; I hadn't expected that it would emphasise some of Scott's mistakes to the extent which it did. It is however a far more sympathetic account than would be made now and leaves the viewer in no doubt of their heroism.
User Review - 8/10 by Paul Di don't remember many details of this movie, really. I would like to see it. I have the flashbacks of the snow's storms and of those poor guys who tried to go back... no food, no dogs to help them. it was the legendary competition between Scott and his competitor, the hideous Amudsen. For a young kid as i was, the movie impressed me a lot. The tragedy of those heroes, their humanity and the friendness they had it will last forever. They were Losers and i was, i am one of them.
User Review - 8/10 by bernard aIn the year 1910, British explorer Robert F. Scott (John Mills) set off on an expedition - his bid to become first to reach the South Pole. Incidentally, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had the exact same thoughts. While Amundsen is mentioned often in the film, he is never shown, as this film focuses entirely on Scott's arduous trek. Watching this, you wonder why anyone would attempt such a dangerous, seemingly foolhardy undertaking. I suppose - it's a testament to the adventurous spirit of man - the desire to be the first to plant your footsteps on unexplored territory - as explained by Scott's wife, Kathleen (Diana Churchill) early in the film, as she ruminates on her husband's upcoming plans. The story is told in a relatively straight-forward manner. It's almost documentary in style in that regard - free of extraneous drama. The attention to detail is marvelous here...from the clothing on down to the equipment used by the expedition. The atmosphere becomes grittier and grittier as the toll of dwindling supplies and the hardships of the quest wear on the men. The downside to the script being that there does seem to be a few dull spots here and there as the film recreates a trek involving men trudging through hundreds & hundreds of miles lasting months and months. There's just no getting around that fact! On the plus side is the cinematography. Three names are credited here in that department: Jack Cardiff, Osmond Borradaile, and Geoffrey Unsworth. I'm not too familiar with Borradaile...but Cardiff is especially known for his work on the films directed by Michael Powell. Cardiff's use of Technicolor here - especially his color pallette of muted earth tones reminds me much of his work in BLACK NARCISSUS. Unsworth would go on to shoot Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Even the sets, shot at Ealing Studios have a painterly background - giving a lyrical quality to turn-of-the-century England. The outdoor scenes were shot mostly in Norway and Switzerland - standing in for Antarctica. Seeing men as tiny specks on the frozen expanse - very humbling indeed. 8
User Review - 8/10 by Karsh DThis film acts as a tribute to Scotts expedition - the last 20 minutes is heartbreaking and one can only imagine the horrors of it all.
User Review - 8/10 by Jim FSurprisingly cheerful movie about a disasterous adventure. There was plenty of joviality prior to things going wrong. The scale of the disaster was well expressed and the magnitude of the mission sunk in well. Also impressed with the footage, scenery, etc. I just love penguins
