Hell Below Zero is a British-American 1954 adventure movie directed by Mark Robson and starring Alan Ladd. The movie is based on the novel "The White South" (1949) by Hammond Innes. The story is set on whaling ships in Antarctic waters. When the captain of a factory ship is lost overboard under mysterious circumstances, his daughter Judie Nordahl (Joan Tetzel) decides to investigate the accident. She is assisted by Duncan Craig (Alan Ladd), former Navy officer and a new mate on the whaling ship Southern Truce.
The following weapons were used in the film Hell Below Zero:
Survivors from Southern Truce find a Lee-Speed Sporter rifle in Eric Bland's tent. Duncan Craig (Alan Ladd) takes this rifle, later is it seen in hands of Erik Bland (Stanley Baker) instead of previously used sporterized Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III* due to a continuity error.
During the final confrontation Erik Bland (Stanley Baker) uses a sporterized rifle. The shape and position of the bolt and ajustable sight allow to identify the base model as Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III*. The rifle lacks typical protruding magazine, so it appears to be a 5-shot version (such sporters were made, for instance, by Parker-Hale).
