Cry of the Penguins ( aka Mr Forbush and the Penguins )

Mr. Forbush (John Hurt), a young biologist with an eye for the ladies, chooses an unlikely assignment...to study a colony of penguins in the wilderness of Antarctica, feeling it's the only way to impress a young biology student, Tara, played by Hayley Mills. But a strange thing happens to him, he starts to become more concerned about the penguins and less about himself. His observations about their daily struggles for survival change his entire outlook on life. Beautifully shot by the famed naturalist and documentary filmmaker Arne Sucksdorff.
