2.0 out of 5 stars Conquest of Everest - Rehashed, 11 Jan 2006
This review is from: Conquest of Everest - Revisited 1953 - 2003 [DVD] (DVD)
While the archive footage and stills may have some appeal for those new to the Everest genre, this film adds little to the story. The appeal of a commentary by one of Mallory's descendants is offset by her insistent monotone. With the backing track - surely a cure for insomnia - this collection has little appeal. The inclusion on the DVD of an index of 'Lost Climbers' is more of a list of events, rather than details of the unfortunates who died or went missing on the hill. Pictures of the climbers concerned would have added some value.
