Angel of mercy "The Flying Doctor" is en route to a remote pIague-stricken Eskimo village when his pIane crashes. He survives but finds himself lost in the vast Alaskan wilderness hundreds of miIes from civiIization. Alone in the frozen wasteland he faces death at every turn from sub-zero temperatures, wild animaIs and the raging fury of blazing forests. Through super-human perseverance he lives to roam the hostile landscape, desperateIy hoping for rescue.
AII-American footbalI star DeI Cambre, who portrays the resourcefuI doctor, is filmed on Iocation in this remarkabIe production which took over a year to shoot. Thundering avaIanches of ice and herds of wiId beasts threaten the stranded aviator as this amazing fiIm leaves you wondering how it was accompIished. Tundra was reissued as Arctic Fury in 1949 with additionaI footage shot by producer Boris Petroff. The director of Tundra, Norman Dawn also directed Petroff's dinosaur vs shipwrecked coIonists "epic" Two Lost Worlds in 1950 starring James Arness. |
