Hell Below Zero (1954)
Directed by Mark
Robson this film based on the novel “The White South” stars Alan
Ladd, Joan Tetzel and Stanley Baker. A woman suspicious about the
death of her father joins the Antarctic whaling fleet she now part
owns as does an American with a crush on her.
This is a fairly
simple mystery film that does not take a lot to resolve but does have
the odd moment of action. If you are put off by the killing of whales
do not watch this film as it shows a large amount of whale killing
and butchery. At times this does feel a bit like a dressed up advert
for the whaling industry but there are worse ways to spend 90
minutes.
3/5
