Movie Reviews of S.O.S. Iceberg
Movie Review: In the great tradition of the 1930's German mountain movies.
Summary: 5 Stars
An expedition of explorers was striking out across Greenland (The Karajak Glacier.) Dr. Karl Lorenz (Gustav Diessl) was missing and presumed dead by all of his fellow explorers. New evidence, however, shows the Dr. Lorenz has survived! So now, it is time to send out a rescue party.
Hella Lorenz (Leni Riefenstahl), wife of Dr. Lorenz and stunt pilot learns of the expedition's demise. In addition, that her husband may be alive on a rogue Iceberg.
This film has lots of ice action. Once again, the true actors are the icebergs in this instance. You get to see some flying stunts. In addition, almost everything is eaten; but do not worry, you do not have to see all these things are eaten except for raw fish. So sit back and enjoy the thrill of watching drama in the Arctic Ocean, as the iceberg is soon to turn over.
This KINO presentation has both the original German version and the English version. I must say that the English version was shorter, chopped up, incoherent, and misleading. The one redeeming value of the English version of this film is that in the end you can see that they had saved the dog. Evidently, the English or more dog friendly. However, the German version was a work of art. If you have trouble keeping up with the German version, there are English subtitles, and this is still far superior to the English version.
Being a fan of Leni Riefenstahl movies, I could not pass this one and I am Glad I did not. I figured that she would be burnt out by now but she just keeps getting better.
