Product Description
From the Back Cover
Sir John Mills is Captain Scott in a thrilling account of the dangerous 1912 expedition to conquer the South Pole. Scott's intrepid team were beaten by Norway in the arctic race and the heroic journey ended in catastrophe. But the bravery of the ill-fated explorers as they battled blizzards on the treacherous glaciers captured the hearts of the British public and became a legend.

Format:DVD
This is a classic film, not least for the superb score by Vaughan Williams. But don't be tempted by the low price to buy this transfer (from 905 Entertainment): the picture quality - fuzzy with the colours washed out - looks as if it's taken from a VHS copy, and the sound is both muffled and harsh (with the first chord of Vaughan Williams' score clipped). You'd be far better off getting the Optimum classic Region 2 transfer, which has vibrant colours and a very acceptable soundtrack.

Wonderful cinematography, and Vaughan Williams deeply moving "soundtrack" (later incorporated in his Symphony Antarctica) combine to make this sweeping documentary-style epic a memorable movie.
Some of the early sets, before arriving in Antarctica, are a little wobbly, but this just highlights the wondful Antarctic scenery.
I couldn't work out whether the acting was wooden, or whether the director wanted Scott to come over as wooden. Either way, some of the acting seems somewhat dodgy. But the film is over half a century old.
Scotts original diary appears a few times. Scotts famous last diary entry is as poignant in the film as when reading it in Antarctic histories. A spectular movie. For lovers of antartic history, or the natural history of the continent, this film is a must.

The company selling this product should be expelled from Amazon. I have never watched a worse quality dvd in my life, and of a film I have seen many times of television and enjoyed. Avoid all business with these cowboys.
