There's a fascinating documentary on Talking Pictures this afternoon called 90 Degrees South. It was shown on Saturday though I didn't spot it as my brother was visiting. It was made in 1933 by Herbert Ponting using material from material he took in 1910/11. It's of Scott's last expedition to Antarctica of which he was the expedition's cinematographer. He stayed at the shore base and didn't go with Scott on the actual final fatal journey over the ice, The footage is tinted, there's a music score, and Ponting provided the commentary. It's a BFI restoration.
