Wiki.

The Conquest of Everest is a 1953 British Technicolor documentary film directed by George Lowe about various expeditions to the summit of Mount Everest. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Cameraman Tom Stobart participated in the 1953 British Mount Everest expedition (as did George Lowe). After the successful second assault, Stobart told the descending party to provide no indication to the men waiting at the base that Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay had succeeded until they were close enough for Stobart to catch the emotion of the moment on film.
