Mr. Forbush and the Penguins (1971): Cast

Richard Forbush, a brilliant biology student and playboy, trades a carefree life for a six‑month Antarctic post to study a penguin colony. Isolated in Shackleton’s abandoned hut, his only contacts are a two‑way radio and letters to his distant lover, Tara in London. A brutal winter among the penguins binds him to the hardy birds and teaches him deep lessons in endurance and humility.
