Ice Cold in Alex

June 1942. Tobruk has fallen, Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon struggle to get their podcast back through the desert to Alexandria where a barman is keeping a chilled bottle of Carlsberg for them.

This week, we’re watching Ice Cold In Alex, undoubtedly the best movie ever to be used as a beer commercial. Did Sylvia Syms ever have a better role? Has there been a worse spy than Anthony Quayle? And does anyone know where we can find a copy of the butchered American version?

A Pod Too Far was written and presented by Robert Hutton and Duncan Weldon. Audio production and sound design by Simon Williams. Artwork by James Parret. Lead Producer is Anne-Marie Luff. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. A Pod Too Far is a Podmasters production.
