Scott of the Antarctic (1948)
Grueling portrayal of Captain Scott's ill fated trek to be the first man to reach the South Pole as stiff upper lips remain stiff thanks to the freezing cold.
Pack horses are shot and eaten, fingers become frozen and gangrened, as do feet in the intense cold... They should have shoved Greta Thunberg into Scott's tent to lecture on global warming...they'd have eaten her within two minutes.
For a British film from 1948 this looks stunning and the whole thing is quite an achievement
