Storm Over Tibet is a 1952 Americanadventure film directed byAndrew Marton and starringRex Reason andDiana Douglas.
During World War II, David Simms pilots supplies between India and China over the Himalaya Mountains.
The film used footage filmed by Andrew Marton of the 1934 International Himalayan Expedition led by Norman Dyrenforth, whose son Harold Dyrenforth played a character based on his father.[1] Much of the footage appeared in Marton's 1935 Swiss-German filmDemon of the Himalayas with some sequences reused by Columbia in their 1937 filmLost Horizon. Actor Rex Reason made his debut in the film telling an interviewer he was chosen for his role because the film needed an actor who could physically fit the shots of the previous actor who had died.[2] Reason's 27 minutes of footage included climbing sequences filmed in an indoor studio using white paintedcorn flakes as snow.[3]
Arthur Honegger reused some of his score fromDemon of the Himalayas.
