Scott of the Antarctic
Ealing Studios’ output from the 1940s and the 1950s helped dene what was arguably the golden age for British cinema. It fostered great directors such as Alexander MacKendrick and Rober Hamer, while giving stars such as Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers the chance to shine.
John Mills stars as Captain Robert Scott in this film of the explorer’s ill-fated expedition to be the first man to discover the South Pole. Directed by Charles Frend who went on to direct The Magnet, the film was nominated for both the Golden Lion in Venice and the BAFTA for Best British Film.
