there be a lot of good make for tv movie release in the seventy and and a cold night death be certainly one of them . the film be set in polar condition and feature a very small cast of just three people . this give the film a very claustrophobic atmosphere which benefit the paranoid atmosphere greatly . the film begin with a transmission from a madman and shortly thereafter and we follow two more men who go to the polar ice station . it soon become apparent that something be not quite right . the production value on show here be surprisingly good consider that the movie be make for television and director jerrold freedman more than make the best of what he have to work with . the acting be very good and feature great performance from robert cult and eli wallach in the lead role . the film be short at just seventy minute and but the runtime be use very well and the director certainly get his point across . the end be strange and doesn not come a a complete surprise and though it good to watch and finish the film off nicely . overall and this tv movie do leave an impression and i can certainly recommend it .
