PCW film service staff p-el King penguins. 19min 16-si-sd-apply 35-si- * sd-f-apply 1938 VL 598.2 "This film stands out above all others on the subject of penguins. In the Edinburgh Zoo these birds appear to lead a very natural life, even succeeding in rearing their young, and thus afford excellent material for a serious study of this kind. The photography is very good and covers a great number of aspects of the birds' behaviour, and the inclusion of a few shots of the Antarctic at the beginning of the film is a useful ad- dition. The under-water sequences in slow motion show the swimming well. The direc- tion is masterly, resulting in a logically arranged film of great interest and educa- tional value. The commentary also is first class, and in keeping with the high standard of the photography. Altogether an at- tractive, outstanding, and first-class film. A natural history and general interest film for all ages."
