Arctic Flight is a 1952 American drama film directed by Lew Landers and starring Wayne Morris, Alan Hale Jr. and Lola Albright.
Bad weather delays the polar bear hunt and Wetherby expresses an interest in visiting Little Diomede.
However, in his haste to head out over the ice to the Soviet base on Big Diomede, Wetherby not only leaves behind his photos of U.S. defense installations, but also his identification card.
Martha and Mike realize that Wetherby was a spy and their efforts have stopped his plan to deliver military secrets to an enemy power.
Principal photography for Arctic Flight took place from late February to early April 1952 at Little Diomede Island in Alaska and at KTTV Studios in Los Angeles.
Writer Ewing Scott directed most of the Alaskan footage, but was replaced by Lew Landers after a flare-up of an old leg injury.
[4] Noted Hollywood cinematographer Richard H. Kline considered Landers "... the most prolific of all directors", adept in many genres.
