Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Steineded How sad is this?

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

beresfordjd I saw this short film many years (possibly 40!) on TV one Christmas. It impressed me no end and I could never forget it. Orson Welles narration is superb,atmospheric and chilling(no pun intended). The main character ,played by Ian Hogg ,is just right in this part and his desperation is clearly portrayed. The dilemma of having to create fire in order to save one's life is portrayed wonderfully and however warm the viewer is while watching this one can feel the severe cold which the protagonist experiences. It may be only a short film but it feels much longer as the frustration of the situation becomes apparent. It is a hugely cautionary tale which stays with the viewer for a very long time.

Radavis470 I have just seen To Build a Fire minutes ago on U Tube. I agree with Mr. Richman that I shall remember the experience forever. As a young student I read this story and ,like Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, have always been so impressed with the authors ability to create an aura that permeates the story from beginning to end. This film has accomplished creating that same aura of fatalism.The narration of Orsen Wells is indeed ,not surprisingly, impressive. But where the heck are the immense kudos for Ian Hogg who is hardly mentioned in the film or in reviews. He was magnificent. This was a gripping film experience

George Richman Firstly, I cannot believe that this short film has no reviews, and that I am the first to review it. I saw this film many years ago possibly 30 years ago. Despite the time, this film has still left a lasting impression. I would rank it as one of the great short films with An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge and The Red Balloon. Do not waste your time with the newer versions until you have seen this one.Without spoiling anything, this film is about a man traveling by foot in the snow with his dog.Again, I am completely flabbergasted that this film is virtually forgotten on this website. It is a shame. Perhaps someone can upload some artwork from this film to help flesh out its profile.
