...Eyes of Laura Mars appears to have everything--beautiful Faye Dunaway as the trendy Beautiful People photographer, a dash of the occult, fear, hysteria, mystery and violence. Except to accommodate these trends, this movie's plot is improbable at best and absurd at worst. Dunaway plays a fashion photographer whose photos are in because they include images of violence and death.

...diary. "Huge pieces of ice are slowly revolving around me. Cracks are opening up amidst a roaring, splintering sound." Detouring to skirt the danger area, he was confronted by huge open stretches of water. Overnight, new ice about 10 inches thick formed over the open water. "I made a dash over the new ice," he wrote, "and in about 2½ hours I had made it across to solid ice again. I felt weak with relief." On the 52nd day, severe winds again forced him to stop...
