Cool looking snow boats ,had a homemade rc model of one ,bet that glacier is gone now ,bad deal if we lose the caps !😮 Great actors in this flick

[@RWO555]

lol the world doesn't end when the caps melt friend. They have melted before. Where I live has been a tropical rainforest then was under a sheet of ice now is going back to the tropical costal rain forest and the natural cycle continues

GREAT CAST!

[@jeanneratterman4174]

Never heard of this. Music certainly makes it sound intriguing.

[@andreaso8886]

It's old. One of my favorites. From the time when I was a kid. Watched it with my dad and mom time several times.

If only they made movies at the end of the seventies like they did in the early sixties, with Panavision, CinemaScope, Colour by Deluxe, etc. This movie with its magnificent Arctic landscape would have been amazing. As it is, everything is dark, sound quality is poor, and the images are low definition. A shame.

Yes, and the 1980s were just as bad.

[@surreygirl2075]

Some good actors in this film the plot was a bit all over the place

[@TRHARTAmericanArtist]

Half the movie was too dark to see, poor audio quality.

[@greeneyesnh1953]

Blame it on the person that downloaded the movie and put it on here. They have no clue what their doing.

[@Bunz69er]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@fuzzfacelogic789]

Poor picture quality also. Reminded me of John Carpenter's The Thing, but in this case, gold was the monster.

[@TRHARTAmericanArtist]

@@fuzzfacelogic789 It seems like a lot of the movies these days are so dark. I thought it was interesting to note that old movies were shot in the day and then they turned them into night scenes by lowering the exposure while editing. Pretty neat trick.

FORGET THE FREQUENCIES...GET THE GOLD!

How many perfect people can be bred from say; 1934 to 1945? And their children’s children etc???. Children don’t ask to be “perfect” ???

[@otteottema6839]

The biggest effort of this movie is not to show what is happening.

[@ايمن-ح6خ9ج]

👍👍👍

[@kenallen768]

The book was better than the movie .

[@garygooding8337]

They almost always are, they usually can only manage a basic summary of the novel.

[@leonietrezise9198]

Always is

[@riiidiculoso8697]

The best a movie can hope for, is never better, but only roughly equivalent to the book - and that’s so rare. I can only think of one, off the top of my head. Are there any movies you think live up to the book?

[@JohnHill-k6p]

The book is always better than the movies

[@joannleichliter4308]

That's almost always the case.

[@t.r.l.4377]

Пол фильма, кадры в темноте, таким образом, англичанка наводить тень на плетень, дедектива называется.

[@GWorxOz]

Really poor video quality.

[@sjefhendrickx2257]
