Good film for its time and still quite enjoyable today, because of the fascinating subject, good cinematographic value and the very deserving acts of the cast, of which only John Mills was really famous.

Reasonable film about an explorer who organizes an expedition to Antarctica. A bit long-winded and the characters are not really interesting. The second half is adventurous and therefore the best. Clearly not entirely shot on location, but it looks fine (especially given its age). A small 3.0 stars.

Unfortunately, the contrast between the recordings on location and the studio work is a bit too great. In addition, it is a fairly uniform story, which mainly relies on the adventure in extreme circumstances. Those diary fragments do put you in a certain atmosphere. And what a terrible anticlimax these men experienced…
Would be something for a modern remake perhaps.
