- TriviaThis was the first co production between the Soviet Union and a Western country.
- GoofsDuring the final break up of the pack-ice, many shots are included that in fact depict the calving of icebergs at a glacier snout or edge of an ice-shelf. Pack-ice breaking up and icebergs calving are completely unlike each other visually - and, as physical phenomena, are entirely unrelated.
- Quotes
Aviator Lundborg: Men are risking their necks for fame, a medal, promotion, or money. What's wrong with money, mm? Just a means to happiness.
Roald Amundsen: But you don't look like a happy man, exactly. More like a man who's learned to be indifferent to unhappiness.
Aviator Lundborg: I'm glad you know it all, Mr. Amundsen.
Roald Amundsen: But you see, a man who is indifferent to his own unhappiness is indifferent to everything.
- Crazy creditsSome of the material for the Russian version listed the Scottish actor who plays Amundsen as "Sh. Konneri."
- Alternate versionsThe version released in the Soviet Union was significantly longer and featured an alternate score by composer Aleksandr Zatsepin instead of the score by Ennio Morricone used in the shorter European/American version.
- ConnectionsFeatured in A Film About Mikhail Kalatozov (2006)
Plot In A Paragraph: Torn by personal guilt Italian General Umberto Nobile (Peter Finch) reminisces about his 1928 failed Arctic expedition aboard the airship Italia.
Not many people have seen this movie, it runs a little too long, and it's not what I'd call an enjoyable movie, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good one. The entire movie takes place in the generals mind. He calls back various participants to the events, to re-live what happened, and then ultimately pass judgement on him. It's well directed, well acted and it has a nice score too
Attempting to rid himself from Bond, it is the first time Connery would play the wiser, older man, he turns up late on, in what is only a supporting role (at best) or a glorified cameo.
The Red Tent was another Connery movie to fail at the box office.
