		Scott is portrayed by Sir John Mills as an unimpeachable hero: authoritative and determined, yet able to laugh with his men at comical moments, stoic and never cynical, even after he discovers that he has come second at the Pole to Amundsen.

		Scott and his small party battled all-but-unbearable conditions on the two-year expedition, through which they hoped to be the first explorers to reach the pole.
		Scott of the Antarctic, in its understated way, celebrates the epic courage of Scott and his men - even though in real life Scott was regarded by many as being too casual and foolhardy in his planning for the tragic expedition.
		The film was shot partly in the Swiss Alps and Norway, where the then-new Technicolor monopack system eliminated the necessity of three-strip cameras and their 70-pound film magazines.

		The film music on this CD comes from five productions, from Vaughan-Williams' first film score in 1941, 49th Parallel (sometimes shown as The Invaders), to 1948's Scott of the Antarctic.
		Here is the very rare opportunity to hear the music in original film form, in a seven part, eight-minute suite recorded in 1949 by the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Ernest Irving.
		This was a drama of life on Romney Marsh at the beginning of the century and the music is both pastoral and dramatic, and also given the necessity of compiling highlights into a short suite, somewhat disconnected.

	DVD Times - Scott of the Antarctic
		Yes, Scott of the Antarctic is one of those quintessential British films; a film which is forever associated with Bank Holiday Mondays and one which could never have been made in the quite the same way anywhere else in the world.
		Indeed, Balcon had a view of the films he was making as the being the essence of “Britishness”, yet they were this to such a degree they rarely delved into such issues as politics, and always displayed a remarkable good taste.
		Indeed, one wonders what the results would have been had Scott of the Antarctic been directed by Alexander Mackendrick perhaps, or Robert Hamer during his prime, though sadly the workmanlike talents of Frend were employed and signs of life must be looked for elsewhere.

		Scott's diary account is presented as the epitome of gentlemanly heroism: quiet reserve and keeping a stiff upper lip in the most impossible of circumstances.
		It's inevitable then that this film is full of patriotic guff, pipe smoking and lines like: "I think an Englishman should get there first." All the same, although the tone is often cloying and romantic, it's to director Frend's credit that this is not just a one-sided account of the great Edwardian.
		John Mills' Scott is every inch the English hero: square-jawed, steely-eyed, resolute and unflinching in the face of danger.
