Quick, Before It Melts explores the comic possibilities of sex in Antarctica and coaxes forth little more than a frozen smile. Against rear-projection views of a place that resembles McMurdo Sound, Director Delbert Mann belabors all the hoariest tricks of his trade.

"After looking at the results of our foreign aid program around the world and seeing how few attitudes have been changed and how little it has to do with better government, self-respect and social change, I feel there are several missing ingredients."
