Bear Island [1979]

Product Information

A curious thing to say about a film that threw in an avalanche or a U-boat stuffed with Nazi corpses, but it was very ho-hum. If this was sounding just a little contrived, then that’s pretty much how it played out, with a big serving of convoluted into the bargain, and that proved costly to this British-Canadian production for which a lot had been riding on, not least a whole series of films based on the same author’s works.

Richard Widmark ("Otto") heads up a group of scientists on the eponymous island that was formerly used as a Nazi submarine base. You can also download and transfer a video you own to portable devices (iPad/iPhone/iPod) for offline viewing. Ikonisch besetzter Arktisthriller, der den kalten Krieg im weißen Niemandsland - der Bäreninsel - aufleben lässt.Filmed in British Columbia and Alaska, the location shoot is beautiful and I’d love to see more winter shoots in locations like this. As you might have surmised, Bear Island lost a lot of money, but some time later proved ideal for settling down in front of afternoon television to pass a couple of hours with, and it’s that audience who would appreciate it the most. Sutherlands Anmachversuche sind jedoch ziemlich abstrakt und des Krankenschwesters Allheilmittel scheint schwarzer KAFFEE zu sein.

the protagonist, is wholly non-believable, whether conversing with others or fist-fighting the bad guys. Richard Widmark was the other name that appealed to me because of his being a favorite in our household thanks to his association with the western.The filmography is also great for a self-shot action movie under such conditions (if only the "found footage" genre films could be this smooth). Turns out there is a shit tonne of Nazi gold on the island and somebody is willing to kill to get to it. This strikes me as one of those films that I rarely seem to find anything positive written about and to be honest, I can’t figure out why.
