Featured review
"What Fun It Will Be When We Are Home Again and See This in the Cinema..."
Although now superceded as the 'definitive' version of Herbert Ponting's silent record of the Scott expedition by the restoration of his original 'The Great White Silence' of 1924, this sound reissue works well on its own terms as a straight runthrough of that famous calamity; especially as it is personally narrated on the soundtrack by Ponting himself, who actually appears at the start rather stiffly addressing us in evening dress (confirming that Clive Morton managed a reasonable likeness of him in 'Scott of the Antarctic' fifteen years later).
