A Cold Night's Death (1973)
Director: Jerrold Freedman
Writer: Christopher Knopf
Cast: Robert Culp, Eli Wallach, Michael C. Gwynne
Scientists Culp and Wallach suspect that there is someone other than their research primates inhabiting their polar station.

Decent 70's TV movie following two scientists Robert (Robert Culp) Jones and Frank (Eli Wallach) Enari who get enlisted to work in a remote polar station, doing various altitude tests on apes for the space program. Robert starts to go crazy when he spends more time uncovering why the previous stations scientists had died.

Made for ABC and is a little slow at times but it only runs a hour, the payoff is the creepy final. Recommended to those who can find a copy.
