Call of the Wild, The (1935)
**** (out of 4)
Incredible film has Clark Gable going to look for a gold mine only to cross paths with Loretta Young. As the adventure begins the two quickly fall in love. This is one of the greatest pictures I've seen that no one really talks about. Great action, great adventure, great drama, great laughs, great romance and overall just one hell of a film. Gable is wonderful in showing all his tough side but the film also allows him to be quite gentle, especially in the scenes with the dog. The beauty of Young shines through nicely as she delivers another very good performance. Wellman and Gable would have a falling out on this film and wouldn't work together again until Across the Wide Missouri.
