Runtime:77 min
IMDb Rating:

In 1945, Igor Gouzenko, a code clerk in the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa, bolted for the freedom of the West and took many secret documents with him that helped lay waste to a good portion of Russia’s Western Hemisphere spy system. His headline-making defection later served as the basis for 20th Century-Fox’s “The Iron Curtain” in 1947. This film, shot in a semi-documentary style, proports to tell how the Soviets “might” attempt to kill Gouzenko, then living in carefully disguised circumstances somewhere in Canada. Gouzenko, his face covered in a Ku Klux Klan-type hood—-no symbolism intended—-appears in the epilogue, while Westbrook Van Voorhis, in his usual voice-of-doom “March of Time” style, narrates the opening sequence retelling the background and setting up the film’s premise.

How to Watch Operation Manhunt Legally and Safely

If you want to stream Operation Manhunt through reputable and legal services, there are a few good options depending on where you are. Subscription platforms like HBO Max, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ sometimes carry Operation Manhunt films or related DC titles—though availability depends on your country.

If you’d rather not commit to a subscription, there are ad‑supported, free (but legal) platforms such as Tubi, Pluto TV, Peacock or Crackle (where available in your region) that occasionally host superhero films.

Lastly, don’t forget about library‑linked streaming options like Kanopy or Hoopla (if your library or university is registered), and official uploads by film distributors on YouTube—these can also give you legal access to classic movies.
