    Default Ice Cold In Alex

    Charming acting, yesteryear manerisms, great story, old fashioned tension and a great ending.

    Brilliant film, one of my favorite films.
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    The scene at the end with the ice cold beers is a classic,as is the whole film. Good from start to finish.

    Couldnt agree more,all that stiff upper lip stuff,seriously though,without the special effects of today films back then had to rely on a good compelling story line,in this case,4 people pitched against the elements with the tension building as the adventure progresses.A genuine classic.

    Dont know how many times i've seen it but i could probably talk along to most of it.My wife dreads when i put TCM on..lol

    ...and Sylvia smoulders throughout - not just her fags either.
    This is a great film. I watched it recently with my 8 y.o. Grandchild who thorougly enjoyed it - she was gripped.
    I bought a copy on dvd and the quality was fantastic - how this movie suited monochrome. Colour would have spoiled it in my opinion.

    Later, I realised I had it as a newspaper giveway , oh well, now I have two.....I'm sure the child's own collection will benefit from my oversight soon.

    I have seen this film several times. The first was as a child and it seemed real to me then. I still like it.

    You always did have good taste in films percy.
