S.O.S. Iceberg (1933)


 

An Arctic expedition searches for a party of adventurers that went missing a year ago.

Semi-documentary adventure drama has a fairly conventional narrative, but is spectacular in its dramatic scenes of Arctic dangers, all photographed on location.

Halliwell*: "At the time this was a spectacular semi-documentary, but it did no business."

Maltin***: "Vivid drama with many hair-raising scenes, shot on locations...filled with striking images...American version...is substantially different. It opens with entirely different exposition and features much more dialogue, until the climax."
