5.0 out of 5 stars With Byrd at the South Pole, June 21, 2007
This review is from: With Byrd at the South Pole: The Story of Little America (DVD)
Seventy-five years after the fact, this remains a fascinating visual testament to human persistence and the awesome variety of our world. At times it's difficult to believe the sheer daring of the Byrd mission and the ingenious ways the team overcame life-threatening obstacles. A ground-breaking documentary that brings a heroic, often overlooked chapter of history to life.

3.0 out of 5 stars stunning camera work & fascinating history, December 4, 2006
This review is from: With Byrd at the South Pole: The Story of Little America (DVD)
a strange hybrid of documentary and travelog and potboiler docudrama; its clear that genres were still defining themselves when this movie was made. while much of the "plotline" is dubious, the heroism of the figures involved is not, and the camera work under undeniably terrifying conditions is nothing short of spectacular. i wont call this a great movie but id recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable story and visuals, May 10, 2007
By 
Nico James (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With Byrd at the South Pole: The Story of Little America (DVD)
I bought this because I am interested in the story of Byrd and his dog, a Smooth Fox Terrier named Igloo, who accompanied him to both Poles on Byrd's expeditions. It was great to see this little guy in such an alien environment as Antartica. But the experience of seeing what these remarkable men accomplished in the most unforgiving of settings was most memorable. The film won an Oscar for Best Cinematography in 1930, and one can see why watching this footage.
