Kirby Grant, best known as TV’s Sky King, starred as a Mountie in a series of 10 movies for Monogram Pictures that prominently featured Chinook, a dog who later played White Shadow in Disney’s Corky and White Shadow (and my dog’s favorite actor — the only one for which she pays attention to the screen). Yukon Manhunt is a film from the middle of the series. It’s a sprightly little movie enlivened by criminal conduct aboard a train, by Grant’s flirtatious behavior, and by a twist that, though revealed moderately early, was nonetheless unexpected. Chinook didn’t actually seem to contribute much to the action this time around.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK.

Most of the Kirby Grant & Chinook movies (but sadly not all) have been made available on DVD by Warner Archive.
