Call of the Wild (1935 film)
The film is directed by William A. Wellman, and stars Clark Gable, Loretta Young and Jack Oakie.In Skagway in 1900, Jack Thornton announces to a crowded bar that he is going home after striking it rich in the gold fields.It contained a map to a rich gold strike; prospector Martin Blake died before he could stake his claim to it, but the letter was mailed to his son John.Jack's luck changes when he pays $250 for Buck, a savage St. Bernard dog, to keep him from being shot by an arrogant Englishman named Smith.Buck, in the meantime, feels a strong urge to join a pack of wolves; he frequently leaves to spend time with a female wolf.The villains then leave in their canoe, but it overturns and they drown, weighed down by the stolen gold, within sight of Jack and Claire.That chemistry resulted in one of the best-kept secrets in Hollywood history; had it not been well kept at the time, two famous careers could have been essentially destroyed.”[1] Loretta's daughter, named Mary Judith Clark, (aka Judy Lewis) was born on November 6, 1935, transferred to an orphanage; and more than a year and a half later, ‘adopted’ by Young.
