Retro Alaska Outdoor Adventure

I've seen this film a few times, I must confess, and I like it. My favorite part is Mike Trent's bender in the bars of the Juneau waterfront. For my money, it is the centerpiece of the film and also where Denver Pyle appears. I love McCarthy era portrayals of Soviet operatives. Hantz is a first class strange character with voyeuristic and other kinky tendencies. The official-type Americanos are very fifties. People often expect all films to be realistic and can't seem to appreciate the interesting little views we can get into the past from off beat, low budget stuff like "The Flying Saucer".

Trivia
Mike is a chain smoker as he is seen smoking or lighting a cigarette in virtually every scene in this movie.

Goofs
When Mike flies to Twin Lakes, the flight takes 6 minutes of film time, and so the distance must be several miles. And yet when the group walks through the tunnel, they appear to get there in only a few minutes.

Quotes
Mike Trent: [to Thorn] I'm not going to Alaska. I'm having too much fun in New York.

Crazy credits
Before the title, a message, 'We gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of those in authority who made the release of the "Flying Saucer" film possible at this time.'
