Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAl Viola was dismissed from this movie and replaced by Producer Roy Boulting. Swedish documentary filmmaker Arne Sucksdorf had started filming the penguin footage in the Antarctic, but it failed to blend with the studiobound sequences. Boulting then brought his wife Hayley Mills on-board, which further added to this movie's escalating budget. This was one of the box-office disappointments, which led to Bryan Forbes' dismissal as head of EMI Films.
- GoofsWhen the first penguin arrives and slides on its belly towards Forbush, there are already other penguin belly tracks in the snow.
- Quotes
Richard Forbush: [to the predatory skuas] Retribution is near my fine feathered friends. Make no mistake about that.
Richard Forbush: [as he attacks the skuas with a catapult] You've asked for it, now you'll get it! Now it's your turn! You hear me? Go on, get out! GET OUT! ALL OF YOU! Die, damn you! Die! DO YOU HEAR ME? DIE! DIE!
Featured review
Oddball, uncategorizable, yet watchable.
Look at the cast and crew list and you will see this is a film of the highest pedigree. Sometimes you get the impression that there are several films happening here and the multiplicity of directors may be a clue to the reason of this.
The title may confuse, but yes they are real penguins!
I suspect that this is one of those films that gave the deskbound money men at the studio many nightmares.
