Featured review
wonderful 1924 film with added commentary
The "first incarnation" of this film did not appear in 1933, it appeared in 1924 and was entitled The Great White Silence,a very wonderful. This was simply a "sound" remake with a commentary added and new music, neither of which frankly greatly improve the film. There is apparently one shot and one shot only that does not appear in the original (a wall being buttressed) but Ponting did make additional use of his collection of "stills". This includes, according to the BFI a shot of the polar party when they stopped for a day to collect rock samples at the head of the Beardmore Glacier. "This was significant not only because they were a day's march from the food depot when they died, but also because the rocks and fossils that they collected have, ironically, been their most enduring scientific legacy, and have contributed to our understanding of plate tectonics" (Bryony Dixon for BFI).
