Aro Recommended Mr. Forbush and the Penguins

 

UK 1971, 98 minutes
Dir. Al Viola
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Classics, Family, Action/Adventure

 

Aroview: Worthy version of NZ-er Graham Billing's classic novel about an immature young scientist who volunteers for a season observing penguin behaviour at a remote Antarctic colony.

John Hurt excels in a difficult, mostly unsupported role, as he struggles with isolation, the hardships of weather and the plight of the hardy penguins.
