Product Description

John Hurt plays Forbrush, a spoilt rich post graduate student who is supposed to be studying biology at the University of London. He is very good in his chosen field, but is largely wasting his time drinking and chasing women. He decides that he wants to impress Haley Mills, and semi- accidentally gets signed up for a 6 month tour studying penguins on his own in Antarctica. Once there, his loneliness drives him half mad, and he becomes paternally attached to the penguins he is supposed to be studying. In the course of the six months he grows up and becomes an adult as opposed to the fop that he was.

An Interesting Antarctic Tale.......2006-04-18

The dvd I received was from a cheapie video label and had a different (awful looking) box art cover and was transferred from videotape to dvd. I wish this movie gets an official dvd release because if you like antarctic films of survival and man alone you will like this film. If you liked "March of the Penquins" I would recommend this one. Starts off in swinging 70's London and with John Hurt chasing girls and Hayley Mills looking her best as a mature love interest. After about half an hour we are in the antarctic and studing the behavior of penquins and birds that prey on their nests.
