The Call Of The Wild

Clark Gable heads to Alaska's gold fields and digs up Loretta Young in Call of the Wild (1935).

Prospectors Jack Thornton (Clark Gable) and Shorty (Jack Oakie) taking the measure of Claire (Loretta Young), whom they've just rescued, and who does not appear in the Jack London novel, in producer Darryl F. Zanuck's very much re-invented 1935 version of The Call Of The Wild.

Opening scene, in which it becomes clear producer Darryl Zanuck's film will depart far from the Jack London novel, Thornton (Clark Gable) is leaving Alaska, some early crowd surfing, then visiting with Tex (Tommy Jackson), in The Call Of The Wild, 1935, directed by William A. Wellman.

Outfitter Griggs (Sidney Toler) has just introduced Thornton (Clark Gable) and Shorty (Jack Oakie) to St. Bernard Buck, familiar from the Jack London novel, when rival Smith (Reginald Owen) appears, in producer Darryl Zanuck's almost complete re-write of The Call Of The Wild, 1935.
