Bravo to Murray Burnett who wrote this CBSRMT episode and other adaptations from Arthur Conan Doyle. The music in ACT-1 made the story sound fanciful, then it becomes mystifying in ACT-2, and finally the music in ACT-3 makes this ghastly tale compelling. The best word to describe E.G. Marshall's part as host is "gripping" especially when he does his introduction about ghosts. The sound effects of the high winds and the creaking sounds of the PoleStar ship were dead-on, makes you feel like you're there in the Arctic. The best part of all, was the Cast: Paul Hecht (as Dr. John Ray), Court Benson (as Captain Cragie), Earl Hammond (as Bruce), and Jane Ives (as Flora). Each of them made the characters believable, especially the Doctor & the Captain. They are not lionhearted, nor are they villainous. But both are curious human beings that seek answers on this icy voyage. The Doctor yearns for knowledge and the Captain yearns for affection that only exists in the Arctic. I highly recommend this to everyone because it's both a drama-mystery & a fantasy-mystery. Well done
