00:00:00The End
00:01:30Fix this dress tie if I'll be pleased with you.
00:01:36If I were a commander in the Navy, I'd be ashamed to admit I couldn't fix the dress tie.
00:01:41Says my beautiful wife.
00:01:44Now dear, if you're going to stop that, we'll never get to the banquet.
00:01:51Why do we have to go to these dinners anyway?
00:01:55That's the penalty you pay for being important.
00:02:03There.
00:02:05Thanks.
00:02:12Just the same that our times, when this hero business is the bunk.
00:02:22Well, my last night, too.
00:02:25Why don't they stage these pool banquets a week ahead?
00:02:29Because it wouldn't read so well in the newspapers.
00:02:35Commander Hall was honored at the banquet a week before his departure for the South Pole.
00:02:40It sounds flat.
00:02:42Oh, I don't know.
00:02:44Commander Hall spent his last evening at home quietly.
00:02:47With his wife.
00:02:52Sounds rather nice to me.
00:03:01Lieutenant Armstrong is down there.
00:03:07Tom.
00:03:08Oh, yes, I, uh, uh, I asked him to come over and go with us.
00:03:13Oh.
00:03:16Tell him he'll be right down.
00:03:18Yes, sir.
00:03:23You don't mind.
00:03:25Mind Tom?
00:03:26Why, no, of course not.
00:03:28You know, I wouldn't be half as keen on this trip.
00:03:31It would be not for Tom.
00:03:33He's as excited about it as a schoolboy.
00:03:35All he talks about.
00:03:38Evening, Tom.
00:03:40Good evening, Commander.
00:03:42Good evening, Miriam.
00:03:44Good evening, Tom.
00:03:52You look perfectly beautiful tonight.
00:03:56I don't know whether I like that or not.
00:03:59You put too much emphasis on that tonight.
00:04:03To me, you're always beautiful.
00:04:07Leave it to Tom to always say the right thing at the right time.
00:04:10It's a gift.
00:04:17Aren't you thrilled at the thought of actually starting tomorrow?
00:04:20I'll say I am.
00:04:22Let's take her along.
00:04:23Mask up?
00:04:24No.
00:04:25As guardian angel.
00:04:26Oh, there you go again.
00:04:29I told you, but again.
00:04:31I told you, but again.
00:04:54I told you, but again.
00:04:56I wish to propose the final toast of the evening.
00:05:00A toast of Godspeed to the officers and crew of the expedition
00:05:06through the person of its gallant leader,
00:05:10Commander Donald Hall.
00:05:14Commander Donald Hall.
00:05:17Commander Donald Hall.
00:05:37And now, if I may, I'd like to propose a toast
00:05:42to the real heroes of this expedition.
00:05:46The courageous wives and sweethearts
00:05:50will remain at home.
00:05:55To the wives and sweethearts.
00:05:57My wife and sweethearts.
00:05:58My wife and sweethearts.
00:06:35And we're all in the.
00:06:38Oh.
00:06:39Oh.
00:06:39Oh.
00:06:40Yes.
00:06:40How do you feel when you face an expedition?
00:06:44Is it something of the gambler's faith in the turn of a field?
00:06:48Well, frankly, when I think of Peary and Amundsen and Andre, and compare their attempts
00:06:54with this expedition, I feel rather humble.
00:06:58Humble?
00:06:58Absolutely.
00:07:00Consider what Peary faced.
00:07:02The odds against him were overwhelming.
00:07:05That's true.
00:07:06When you consider the modern inventions that we have at our disposal, this expedition
00:07:11seems like child's play.
00:07:14Child's play?
00:07:16Well, I should hardly call it that.
00:07:19No.
00:07:19Well, by way of comparison, once those men started, they lost touch for the outside world.
00:07:27We have the wireless and base camps equipped with aeroplanes.
00:07:34Commander, if you could make a survey of the morals of the natives at the South Pole.
00:07:39I'm afraid there are none, Doctor.
00:07:41What?
00:07:42Morals or natives?
00:07:44Good news, Sir John.
00:07:48Tell me, is it true that your men are sewn up in their furs and don't take them off until
00:07:54the end of the trip?
00:07:55Pretty nearly true, Sir John.
00:07:56My word.
00:07:58How do they take a bath?
00:08:01How do they take a bath?
00:08:02Everything was meant for you.
00:08:20Anything.
00:08:22Tom, tell me the truth.
00:08:25Since the plans were first made a year ago, Donald has insisted that there's not a bit of danger
00:08:31involved.
00:08:33Is that true?
00:08:36Why...
00:08:38Why, yes.
00:08:39Yes, of course.
00:08:41But there is danger, isn't there?
00:08:43A great deal of danger.
00:08:47You're not going to get frightened the last moment.
00:08:50I don't know.
00:08:54You see, those women seem to be sympathizing with me.
00:08:58It made me realize that they were frightened.
00:09:01And that frightened me.
00:09:11And now I, uh, I wonder if I may be excused.
00:09:15You see, I haven't much more time with, uh, my wife.
00:09:20Margaret.
00:09:21Why, Miriam, you're trembling.
00:09:26I am frightened.
00:09:31Frightened?
00:09:37I have a sort of feeling that...
00:09:46Miriam.
00:09:48Oh, my dear.
00:10:00I'm sorry.
00:10:02Please forgive me.
00:10:04It wasn't your fault, dear.
00:10:07I couldn't help it.
00:10:09I forgot myself.
00:10:10It was my fault.
00:11:01I don't know how I could have been so clumsy.
00:11:03Well, I'm delighted it happened, Commander.
00:11:06How I could...
00:11:07Everyone will be wanting a piece of that vase as a souvenir.
00:11:11But I'll be quite the most popular woman in Washington.
00:11:14Well, that's very charitable of you.
00:11:16But still, I...
00:11:17And now, I'm going to insist that you autograph every fragment before you leave tonight.
00:11:23Well, very well, then.
00:11:24If someone will lend me a pen, I'll get to work.
00:11:27But at least, take my mind off it.
00:11:31Do you think it's odd?
00:11:35Has anyone a pen?
00:11:36I have one.
00:11:39Mommy?
00:11:41Oh, Commander.
00:11:47Isn't that lovely?
00:11:48And don't get me.
00:11:50Oh, that lovely?
00:11:54Night, Commander.
00:11:56Good night.
00:11:56Good night, Lieutenant.
00:11:57Good night, sir.
00:11:58Good night.
00:11:59Good night.
00:11:59Good night, Lieutenant.
00:12:00Good night.
00:12:00Very glad he came.
00:12:04Well, best of luck, Commander.
00:12:16Sit beside Lillian.
00:12:42What a comedown.
00:12:45What did you say?
00:12:47Awkward of me, wasn't it, breaking that vase?
00:12:51I wouldn't let that bother me.
00:12:54But it does.
00:12:55One awkward gesture, and then smash.
00:13:00Well, your future isn't ruined through smashing Mrs. Talon's bars, I'm sure.
00:13:05I'm not so sure.
00:13:06Oh, don't be silly, Donald.
00:13:09What a position to find myself in.
00:13:12There I was, the guest of honor.
00:13:14Lionized like a little tin hero.
00:13:17Taking it rather gracefully, too.
00:13:20And then smash.
00:13:23And the bars scattered in bits all around me.
00:13:28It was just one of those things that couldn't be helped, Donald.
00:13:32Nevertheless, one can't go to someone else's home,
00:13:36and break a thing of value, and not make restitution.
00:13:42That right, Tom?
00:13:45Right, Donald.
00:13:49Well, here we are.
00:13:52Home.
00:14:09Good night.
00:14:09Oh, not yet, Tom.
00:14:11Come on in.
00:14:13It's late.
00:14:14Oh, have a night, Captain.
00:14:17I think I'd better be getting on.
00:14:18Tom, it's our last night.
00:14:21Come on in.
00:14:24Miriam.
00:14:25You insist.
00:14:27Yes.
00:14:28Come along, Tom.
00:15:16How will you have it?
00:15:18All glass or neat
00:15:20Me please
00:15:27I know what Miriam was
00:15:40He saw I
00:15:43Hope not
00:15:45Everything he said had a double meaning
00:15:47You imagine that
00:15:49I tell you he's playing with us
00:15:50Oh Miriam
00:15:52He knows I tell you
00:16:08Here you are
00:16:09Here you are
00:16:20Here's to the three of us
00:16:29What's the matter dear?
00:16:31It's my head
00:16:32I'm sorry
00:16:34Too much excitement
00:16:35I'm afraid so
00:16:36Let me get you an aspirin
00:16:38Oh will you
00:16:40It's in the I think the second shelf in the medicine case
00:16:43I'll hurry
00:16:53I can't stand any longer
00:16:55Now Miriam
00:16:56We're not sure
00:16:58Oh he knows I tell you
00:16:59He knows
00:17:03Then there's only one decent thing for me to do
00:17:06Tom
00:17:08What do you mean?
00:17:10Oh you won't do that
00:17:12Promise me you won't
00:17:15I'm sorry Miriam
00:17:20Is your aspirin dear?
00:17:24Donald
00:17:25Why do you go on pretending?
00:17:28Pretending?
00:17:29Oh why don't you come out with it?
00:17:31You saw us in the conservatory didn't you?
00:17:36Yes
00:17:39I knew it
00:17:41I knew it
00:17:49Now Miriam
00:17:54Donald
00:17:55You must know the respect I have for you
00:17:57Would never let me be guilty of doing a cheap thing
00:18:01What happened tonight had to happen
00:18:03Tom and I were helpless
00:18:05Oh won't you believe that
00:18:08We
00:18:09We were swept away
00:18:10It's all my fault Donald
00:18:14I was a cad
00:18:21My dear chap
00:18:23I have known you all your life
00:18:26And I have never known you to do a dishonorable thing
00:18:30I'm sure it must have been something pretty big
00:18:34To make you forget yourself this time
00:18:40And now I think we'd better forget it
00:18:51This is the last evening that Miriam and I will have together
00:18:53For a long time
00:19:09Good night
00:19:10Good night
00:19:35Shall we go upstairs dear?
00:19:37But there's still something you don't understand
00:19:40Now dear I think I understand everything
00:19:42Oh no Donald you don't
00:19:44I told you this was no mere flirtation
00:19:47Do you think what you saw tonight could have happened if it were only that?
00:19:50Do you think I could have let Tom take me in his arms and kiss me?
00:19:53Of course my dearly
00:19:56The emotion of saying goodbye got the better of you
00:19:58No Donald it wasn't that
00:20:01It was because
00:20:02I loved him and he loved me
00:20:05Miriam
00:20:07Now
00:20:08Now you understand
00:20:19Well what do you want me to do?
00:20:26I want my freedom Donald
00:20:29Your freedom?
00:20:31You mean a divorce?
00:20:34Oh my dear I'd rather die than hit you this way
00:20:37Divorce?
00:20:38You mean that you and I
00:20:40After what I told you what's left for us
00:20:43God what's left
00:20:48What's left of five years
00:20:49Of hopes and plans and efforts
00:20:54All rooted in my love for you
00:21:02What's left of anything now?
00:21:05Oh don't don't
00:21:06Please don't
00:21:11I can hear that vase
00:21:12Crashing about me again
00:21:15Only this time
00:21:18It's the world
00:21:20It's falling about me in pieces
00:21:40It's falling about me
00:21:47I can'tbank
00:21:50I can't
00:21:56I can't
00:21:58I can't
00:22:03I can't
00:22:19Oh
00:22:38Hold up!
00:23:38Do you think that the ice will affect it?
00:23:40Oh, I think not.
00:23:41Let me show you.
00:23:41Good.
00:23:54Goodbye, Miriam.
00:23:56All luck to you, Tom.
00:23:59Thanks.
00:24:08Time to take off, Miriam.
00:24:11I want you to be happy.
00:24:14Everything will be all right and sure.
00:24:17Oh, John.
00:24:18Oh, dear.
00:24:21I called up my attorney this morning.
00:24:24Anything you want done, they'll do.
00:24:29I've got to take with my arms, dear.
00:24:31The whole world's looking on it.
00:24:34Goodbye.
00:24:35And I'll say yours.
00:24:52Thank you, sir.
00:24:57Standway to way off since.
00:24:59We are.
00:24:59Well, that's why it looks like it.
00:27:01Thank you, sir.
00:27:09Here's your message. Get it off immediately.
00:27:11Yes, sir.
00:27:38I'm picking up the explorer, George.
00:27:56I have established communication with the explorer, sir.
00:28:28Very well.
00:28:28The explorer sends back word that all is well.
00:28:30The dispatch reads as follows.
00:28:32On board the explorer, Thursday, August the 4th, 422 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
00:28:39Confirming position recently reported.
00:28:40We have just passed over the Coco's Keys in the Southern Caribbean Sea.
00:28:45Visibility splendid.
00:28:46Motors functioning perfectly.
00:28:48Optimistic of complete success in expedition.
00:28:50Signed, Hall, Commander.
00:28:51Professor Jones' orchestra will now continue.
00:28:53All right, Professor.
00:28:55Didn't I tell you?
00:28:57They're going along splendidly.
00:28:59Yes.
00:29:01But why are they flying over the Caribbean Sea?
00:29:04They're going to the pole.
00:29:06They have to fly south to get to the south pole.
00:29:10South pole?
00:29:12I thought they were going to the north pole.
00:29:15But then I never did have any sense of direction.
00:29:43But then I never did have any sense of direction.
00:30:05I got him, George.
00:30:09Must be heavy weather on that balloon.
00:30:13Sounds like the 4th of July.
00:31:10Who is it?
00:31:11Sam, madam.
00:31:13Yes, Sam.
00:31:14What is it?
00:31:14Beggin' your pardon, madam.
00:31:16The cook and I thought you would like to know.
00:31:17They're broadcasting a message from the commander.
00:31:20You heard it over the kitchen radio.
00:31:22Thank you, Sam.
00:31:24Yes, ma'am.
00:31:25The message sent by wireless from the control room
00:31:28of the dirigible Explorer.

00:31:39Have been fighting terrific tropical storms since 5 p.m.
00:31:43Visibility very bad.
00:31:45Motors running full speed to offset heavy headwinds.
00:31:48Have not seen land for two hours.

00:33:42through terrific storms. Two motors disabled. Right fin damaged. Proceeding slowly south. Signed, Hall.
00:33:49Come in.
00:34:05Scott Gleason. Huh? Scott Gleason the Explorer. Oh, he's early today. Must be way down the end of South America.

00:37:35What did you get then?
00:37:38Just four words, sir.
00:37:40Snowstorm, bearings, unable and blind.
00:38:01Unable to use sexton.
00:38:02It looks like, sir.
00:38:25Mrs. Hall?
00:38:26Yes?
00:38:27They're going to give a message from the explorer.
00:38:31Yes, yes.
00:38:33Yes, it's just coming in over the radio, Captain Russell.
00:38:40Incomplete because two-way communication was not established.
00:38:43The message is, have been flying through blinding snowstorms for 11 hours.
00:38:50Apparently still over ice pack.
00:38:52Unable to use sexton or take observation.
00:38:55Ship losing altitude due to the weight of snow and ice.
00:39:03Like this river!
00:39:05Now we're going to put my weight in the fire to bring them out.
00:39:20Hoping for storm to abate, but in the meantime can do nothing but maintain full speed.
00:39:26We'll keep radio operators sending steadily.
00:39:29Hoping you get all our parts until situation orders here.
00:39:33Signed, Hall Commander.
00:39:35For I'm just a bubble of trouble and care.
00:39:40Very fond of petting, but I'm getting old.
00:39:43Sam!
00:39:43Bring some coffee to the living room.
00:39:53Let's bring some coffee to the living room.
00:39:57And I'm not buying.

00:40:16Falling.
00:40:17Weight of ice envelope too great.
00:40:21Despite full speed ahead,
00:40:24ship losing altitude rapidly.
00:40:26Only 300 feet above ice pack
00:40:33can see ice peaks plainly.
00:40:38Falling.
00:40:41Falling.
00:40:45Falling.
00:40:56Falling.
00:40:59Hey, Mark.
00:41:01Stand by.
00:41:21He's gone.
00:41:24I can't even get his carry away.
00:41:28Gleason's off the air entirely.
00:41:33A night of blitz, but when the dawn is breaking, oh, memory, God soon do we forgotten.
00:41:53Attention, everybody.
00:41:55We've just heard from the Navy Department.
00:41:58The message has been received from the dirigible explorer.
00:42:02She is apparently, wait a minute, I'll read the message.
00:42:07It's incomplete.
00:42:09Falling.
00:42:10Weight of ice on envelope too great.
00:42:12Despite full speed ahead, ship losing altitude rapidly.
00:42:16Only 300 feet above ice.
00:42:18Can sea ice peaks plainly.
00:42:20Falling.
00:42:21Falling.
00:42:22Falling.
00:42:24We're about to crash.
00:42:28Navy Department reports that the utmost measures will be taken immediately to ascertain the location of the lost scepter.
00:42:36And Commander Hall's base camp will be ordered immediately to explore the Antarctic for the survivors, if any.
00:42:44We are warned, however, of the extreme difficulty, because the explorer was not able to locate a position for the
00:42:52past 12 hours.
00:42:53We will now continue our station program.
00:42:59To have, to hold, to leave for just a moment, in ecstasy and then to be forgotten.
00:43:43We will now continue our station program.
00:44:11All right, men, stand by.
00:44:13Everybody.
00:44:14All right, sir.
00:44:19All right, sir.
00:44:19Show up.
00:44:20Well, where that ladder goes down?
00:44:22Yeah.
00:44:24Somebody hold that ladder on the floor.
00:44:26Stand back.
00:44:27There's equipment that comes down, boys.
00:44:29Don't slip on that ice.
00:44:30Watch out there.
00:44:30Don't slip on that ice.
00:44:34All right.
00:44:34Stand back, Mr. Goodby.
00:44:36Come down.
00:44:37All right.
00:44:37All right.
00:44:38All right.
00:44:39All right.
00:44:46Join the Navy and see the world.
00:44:49I've seen a lot, but never anything like this.
00:44:52Gee, look at that ice.
00:45:04There's a bunch of ice on it.
00:45:07Unload the ship.
00:45:09Better get that weight out of her before she breaks her back.
00:45:12Yes, sir.
00:45:13Out there.
00:45:29The gas is gone, sir.
00:45:31Four compartments torn wide open.
00:45:33She'll never rise from this ice, sir.
00:45:44How about the radio?
00:45:46The radio went out of commission, sir.
00:45:48Long before we crashed.
00:45:50Haven't repaired at once.
00:45:52Very good, sir.
00:46:10Captain.
00:46:13Commander Hall's wife is on the telephone again, sir.
00:46:15Very well.
00:46:19Hello.
00:46:21Captain Russell.
00:46:23Yes.
00:46:24You haven't heard anything yet?
00:46:27Oh.
00:46:31I'm trying not to worry.
00:46:33But if I don't hear from you, may I call again?
00:46:40Goodbye.
00:47:02And the minute any word comes through from the Navy Department, we will broadcast it to our listeners in.
00:47:07All right.
00:47:19Hey, fair job is finished there and we get the base camp now.
00:47:23Yes, sir.
00:47:25If our battery is strong enough, we can get them just as soon as our tubes warm up.
00:47:45We got him sir, look out, there go your tubes, and those are our last ones too, and no hope
00:47:57of repairs here, we can't repair vacuum tubes here sir, there goes our last chance, of
00:48:07help by radio, any order sir, how much food have we, I've cut down on our rations, we have enough
00:48:26for about eight days, we'll split up in a separate groups, and go out over the ice,
00:48:37in different directions, I'm sure the base camp will send out searching planes, it will
00:48:44make it easier for them to find us.
00:48:48Very good sir.

00:55:25Oh, this is a ship.
00:55:29Oh, there's no one in the ship.
00:56:21What was that?
00:56:27I thought I heard the sound of a motor.
00:56:30Well, is it just your imagination again?
00:56:33No, no, I tell you.
00:56:35Listen.
00:56:47Look.
00:56:56Oh, my God.
00:56:57He's coming past.
00:56:59Stop him.
00:57:00Stop him.
00:57:00I said he was going away.
00:57:01Get on steady.
00:57:03That won't help you any.
00:57:06Watch him.
00:57:09He's going to make a landing.
00:57:33He's going to make a landing.
00:57:38Where are the others?

00:57:53Commander Hall.
00:57:54I'm Tom Armstrong.
00:57:56Lieutenant Wallace, sir.
00:58:00Well, I guess the first thing that you're interested in is some food.
00:58:04He's coming.
00:58:20Think of it, Donald.
00:58:22We're going home.
00:58:24People.

00:58:31Yes.
00:58:33Pop, we're going home.
00:58:36I'm afraid, gentlemen.
00:58:37I've got some bad news for you.
00:58:41What do you mean?
00:58:43My plane will only carry one passenger.
00:58:51You mean that one of us must remain here?
00:58:55I'm afraid so.
00:58:57It's up to you which one I take.
00:59:34The long straw, Tom, goes back.
00:59:43It's up to you.
01:00:13Oh

01:00:40You don't know what you're asking me to do asking you to do
01:00:45I'm not even thinking of you. I'm only thinking of Miriam

01:00:54She wants you and you're going back
01:01:11Don't worry sir. I'll come back for you. I know you will if it's humanly possible

01:03:57Let's go, let's go.
01:04:05Let's go.
01:04:07Lieutenant Armstrong is passing the White House.
01:04:22Lieutenant Armstrong is now being officially welcomed by Admiral Townsend.
01:04:28Please stand by and I'll ask the lieutenant to say a few words over the microphone.
01:04:36Lieutenant Armstrong, can you please say a few words over the microphone?
01:04:42Ladies and gentlemen, the hero of the hour, Lieutenant Armstrong.
01:04:51Ladies and gentlemen, the real heroes of the expedition are back there.
01:04:58Fourteen brave men who died in the frozen south.
01:05:04The last and greatest hero is Lieutenant James Wallace, who single-handed came to my rescue,
01:05:15and later returned for Commander Hall and perished in the attempt.
01:05:23So if there's any glory attached to this expedition, it really belongs to those men.
01:05:31I thank you.
01:05:32Thank you very much.
01:05:37Thank you, everyone.
01:05:52There he is, boy!

01:07:43Well
01:07:45We started off all right
01:07:47And then we got into storms and snow and the ship got overloaded with ice. Yes, I know all that
01:07:54I read it in the paper. I heard it over the radio until I almost went mad

01:08:29He told you he could take only one passenger back
01:08:33Is that right Tom?
01:08:37Yes, Miriam
01:08:39But why why all these questions I?
01:08:44Want to know Tom? I've got to know
01:08:47What Miriam

01:09:01And did you?
01:09:05Please Miriam
01:09:06Did you?
01:09:08No
01:09:09Why? Why didn't you?
01:09:12Please Miriam, don't ask me to tell you that
01:09:15Was it because Donald wouldn't let you? Was that it?
01:09:21Yes
01:09:22Why? Why didn't he want to gamble on a chance to live? Why?
01:09:27Because
