Jack London's The Call of the Wild is a perennial educational classic which is used in public schools today across the United States. Charlton Heston's character John Thornton at first is a real hard head in the beginning as a man bound and determined to find "Old Yellow Moon" which is a gold mine fortune deep in Yukon Indian Territory. His hateful attitude towards Buck at first is intolerable but as the relationship between man and dog builds Thornton's hardheadedness gives way to love and devotion.
The copyright to this movie keeps falling in and out every video labels hands just about every year or so. The transfer is horrendous as it has no doubt been transferred from a first generation video tape print over and over again to it's current DVD print. Personally I wish The Weinstien Brothers Bob and Harvey would buy out the copyright to this movie and all of it's film elements and get this movie fully restored on their Miriam Collection DVD Label in a 1 or 2 disc Special Edition featuring any extras that might actually exist somewhere in some film vault waiting to be discovered.
