Arctic Flight (1952)
Directed by Lew
Landers this film stars Wayne Morris, Lola Albright, Alan Hale Jr.
and Carol Thurston. A commercial pilot in the Arctic Circle thinks
his passenger might be a Soviet spy rather than the big game hunter
he claims to be.
Despite having a short
run time the plot of this film takes far too long to get to the
actual espionage story and it is over so fast you might miss it if
you blink. The script for this film really needed a big rewrite to
focus on tension and suspicion, a leaf out of Hitchcock's book would
have been a good start. When it comes to the star Wayne Morris comes
off as a third rate John Wayne but really no one has much to work
with.
2/5
