Win Scott of the Antarctic on Blu-ray

Studiocanal is thrilled to announce the new DVD, Blu-Ray and EST release of Ealing Studios classic Scott of the Antarctic on 6th June 2016, beautifully restored in 2K and for the first time ever from a Technicolor 3 strip negative.

Based on the real life adventures of Robert Falcon Scott and his fellow explorers Scott of the Antarctic tells the story of the infamous but ill-fated 1912 expedition ā€“ a race against Norway to discover the South Pole.

John Mills (Great Expectations; Ice Cold in Alex; The Big Sleep) stars as hero Captain R.F Scott, with Harold Warrender (Convoy; Pandora and the Flying Dutchman) as Dr William E.A Wilson, Derek Bond (The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby; The Loves of Joanna Godden) as Captain L.E.G Oates, Reginald Beckwith (The Titfield Thunderbolt, The Day The Earth Caught Fire; Thunderball) as Lieutenant H.R Bowers, James Robertson Justice (Whisky Galore!; Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; Moby Dick) as Petty Office ā€˜Taffā€™ Evans R.N and Kenneth More (The Yellow Balloon; Genevieve; A Night to Remember) as Lieutenant E.G.R ā€˜Teddyā€™ Evans R.N – his band of loyal men.

Also starring Diana Churchill as Kathleen Scott (Jane Steps Out; Oranges and Lemons) and Sir Christopher Lee (The Wicker Man; The Lord of the Rings Trilogy; Star Wars: Episodes II & III).

Adapted from Scottā€™s diaries and visually inspired by original footage from the expedition, Scott of the Antarctic was shot almost entirely in studio and in Technicolor, making it one of Ealing Studiosā€™ most lavish productions of the time. The filmā€™s authenticity and aesthetic splendour is thanks to highly acclaimed cinematographer Jack Cardiff OBE. Tremendously British in style and spirit this documentary-style drama is complemented by an original score by Ralph Vaughan Williams, which later became his seventh symphony, ā€˜Sinfonia Antarctica.ā€™ Scott of the Antarctic was nominated for Best British Film at the BAFTAs in 1949.

Scott of the Antarctic is part of the ā€˜Vintage Classics collectionā€™ ā€“ showcasing iconic British films, all fully restored and featuring brand new extra content: www.facebook.com/vintageclassicsfilm
