And the Oscar went to ...
(Feature)
An account of the U.S. Navy's expedition to Antarctica in 1946-47, under the command of Adm. Richard E. Byrd. Filmed by Navy photographers, with narration by Robert Montgomery, Robert Taylor and Van Heflin, all of whom served in the Navy in World War II. The music is by Bronislau Kaper. This is the sole Oscar for Dull, who had been nominated once when there was a category for assistant directors.
(Short Subject)
Toward Independence, United States Army.
This film about the rehabilitation of disabled veterans was directed by George L. George for the Army Signal Corps. A print is preserved in the Academy library, but the film seems to be otherwise unlocatable.
