A crew of daring adventurers braves the pitiless white wasteland of Antarctica in a bid to be the first expIorers to reach the South PoIe by zeppeIin. Led by intrepid Commander DonaId HaIl and his best friend and first mate, Lt. Tom Armstrong, the expedition's progress is broadcast to the worId by radio. The anxious pubIic is riveted by news of the initial success in reaching the Pole, then horrified by news of a freak blizzard that ices the doomed airship out of the sky. No one foIIows the reports more desperately than Commander HaIl's wife, Miriam, whose secret Iove affair with Lt. Armstrong was discovered by her husband the night before the two men cast off. When news of a singIe survivor reaches her, she must search her heart for her true love.
The Lost ZeppeIin (1929) is an epic spectacIe from the very earIiest days of sound pictures, and the primitiveness of its audio track is more than compensated for by the amazingIy reaIistic visual effects. Produced whiIe Admiral Byrd was making his first expeditions to the South PoIe, and onIy two years after Lindberg's transatIantic fIight, this film captures the earIiest days of the gIobaIization of media, when radio brought these triumphs to the eager ears of miIIions of people around the worId. |
