S.O.S. Eisberg - 1933 - 6/10

A member of the Arctic expedition had wandered away, then presumed dead.
Except, 200 days later evidence surfaces of his dogged existence.
Four men set out to rescue, along with a Husky dog and a sled.
Photography in this is stunning, especially watching characters navigate glaciers, icebergs, pack ice.
Likewise aerial reconnaissance. The planes weaving and banking between icebergs is breathtaking.
(Stunt pilot Ernst Udet had flown with von Richthofen’s Flying Circus and was an ace with 62 victories.)
There seem too many scenes of man vs nature, and heroic endurance.

As with US / Mexican versions of Dracula (1931), Universal made filmed the concurrent S.O.S. Iceberg, for US audiences, using most of the same cast (Leni Riefenstahl in both).
