Absolutely agree Fred. I always bracket this film with another one Stanley Baker made around the same period, Hell Drivers. Two great favourites.

.....mine has gin in it.....

Interesting to see this film pop up in conversation again. It has always been one of my favourites. Couple of reasons really - one is Stanley Baker, the second Hammond Innes, on whose novel it is based.

Strange that it has not been published widely on DVD. Similar situation with another good Stanley Baker film, Checkpoint, which has never appeared on DVD.

Also disappointing that other films from the novels of Hammond Innes have still not made it to DVD -

Snowbound (Robert Newton, Dennis Price, Herbert Lom)
The Wreck of Mary Deare (Charlton Heston, Gary Cooper, Richard Harris)
Hell Below Zero (Alan Ladd) - a ludicrous Hollywood title for the book called 'The White South.

I suppose Hammond Innes is out of fashion as an author these days but one would have thought that the stars of these films would have made DVD releases a worthwhile proposition.

I have a pretty good copy of Hell Below Zero but alas, sadly on VHS. You can still find the odd copy on amazon. Mind you, I can't see it being that marketable now, what with the whaling scenes in it!? Though not enough Stanley Baker for me. But its still a good film, .... and even with Alan Ladd in it!

Channel 4 have shown Hell Below Zero a couple of times in the last year - I watched it the other day as it contains what is probably Peter Dyneley's first screen appearence (he's Dan Miller, Alan Ladd's crooked ex-partner). I have it on DVD-R but currently have no way of copying it. If you start a new thread under the Hell Below Zero title you might get lucky.

Snowbound got a VHS release a few years ago. The tapes sometimes turn up on
e-bay along with dvdr copies.
