Movie review - Aces of Action#11 - Mutiny in the Arctic (1941) **

 Richard Arlen and Andy Devine go on an expedition to the Arctic north to look for some radium type material but things get complicated when the first mate takes over the ship. He's played by Don Terry who later because an on screen mate of Devine in this Aces of Action series in Danger in the Pacific.

This makes heavy use of stock footage - female pilot Ann Nagel flying over the snow, ice breaking, avalanches, eskimos. There's some friendly eskimos. I wish Nagel's part was bigger but it is cool she gets to fly around in a plane. There's a lot of stock footage. Some of it quite impressive. The story gets mislaid as a result.

John Rawlins directed this.
