Director Charles Frend showed he could turn real life stories into stirring drama with war films like The Foreman Went to France, and here turned his hand to a different sort of heroism.
The polar regions received their names from the Greeks: the Arctic is so called for the Great Bear, Arctus, in the northern sky; the opposite of that, Antarctic, means "no bear." The story of these icy kingdoms begins with a fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson, beautifully...
Whilst the war films showed small victories in what we hoped would prove to be a big victory, Scott Of The Antarctic shows a peculiar sort of victory, that of the human spirit in the midst of failure.

 San Demetrio, London (1943)
It was a true story, the reconstruction of an epic voyage of an oil tanker which, although so badly damaged it is abandoned, is reboarded later by its crew and brought home to port.
San Demetrio London was directed by Charles Frend, with Robert Hamer as the associate producer, and they both wrote the screenplay from the official narrative of the original exploit by F. Tennyson Jesse.
After drifting in a lifeboat for three days, several members of the crew decide that their chances are better on their old ship, which is floundering in mid-Atlantic.

 DVD Times - Scott of the Antarctic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The film is ably directed by Charles Frend, yet displays so little in the way of a signature that it could have been make by anybody (even, God forbid, Lewis Gilbert).
Indeed, Frend’s filmography consists mainly of films which could be described in the same.
Of course, there is the presence of a masterpiece or two (The Cruel Sea and perhaps San Demetrio, London), though for the most part his directorial career consisted of the likes of Johnny Frenchman and The Big Blockade; perfectly watchable films, though ones which don’t stand comparison with the works of Ealing’s maverick directors.
