Summary: there is another version that is fabulous
Review: this charleton heston version is not the only version of this
famed novel in movie form.
some years ago, the 'family' channel' aired "call of the wild" starring rutger hauer. i dont know if it was made for tv or what but it was outstanding--superb!!--one of the finest animal movies of all times. moved one to tears and the dob used to portray "buck" was superb.
i just cant say enough about the movie--i have an old copy and watch if all the time. it so sooooo moving
ive never seen a rendition of a jack london movie this good--its riple better than ethan hawke in white fang and i love that movie too.
it would rate a 12 on a scale of 1-10. the music to the rutger hauer version alone was worth the movie--incredible--
if anyone knows where one can get copy this tv movie better
share it bc these people on here watching the heston version
are missing out one of the greatest animal movie versions ever.
the hauer version is stunning photography, incredible hautning music scoree and simply oustanding performances.

Summary: let me explain!
Review: This film is roughly cut, and sloppily done. However, I believe it a a very good film! Heston is excellent, the visuals are excellent, and the picture does a fine job of portraying the Klondike gold rush conditions. Sure, there are slicker jobs out there, but with just a little work, I think this could be fixed nicely. Perhaps someday they could redo this for a better DVD release, add in a bunch of the footage, pretty it up. But until then, this film provides an authentic look at how it must have been, and, Heston is great.

Summary: << Shouldn't have been transferred to DVD >>
Review: This is not only a disappointing movie but also a disappointing dvd. First the DVD: Soundtrack is distorted. No dvd menu. Has 'film flips' - I thought something was wrong with my VCR tape. Wait! I'm not using a VCR; this is a dvd.Now for the movie. The book is written from the dog's perspective. The movie is more from Heston's position. The plot was changed. The characters in the scenes were incorrect. My 10 year old son kept nodding his head; saying, hey, this didn't happen......

Summary: "Family-freindly" my butt!!
Review: This movie was very poor. For one thing this is NOT family friendly. For example in one scene these dogs get mad and they attack each other and in the end of that scene one of the dogs WAS RIPPED APART AND WAS VERY BLOODY. Also my Mom says that a scene were cut. Also the music is horrible. Also there was one very stupid curse they called the dogs(very ironic) also if you know spanish you can get an easter egg from the song they sing. In a few scenes all of a sudden stuff is completely red.

Summary: This is not a Disney film - This is a grownup adventure
Review: True to the book by Jack London, the dog Buck is kidnapped and taken to Alaska to be a team dog. Buck is not a purebred German Shepard but a mix with Rottweiler. Unlike the book, there are women in Alaska - prostitutes and saloon keepers. Buck develops a loyalty to Charlton Heston. The lighting of the DVD is deliberately toned down. On a bet, Buck proves he can haul 500 pounds on a sled which keeps him from being shot in the head. Out in the wild, he makes off with a female wolf, who has a litter of his puppies. Charlton Heston, panning for gold, is killed and buried in the snow and ice. Buck attacks the attackers. Like the book, Buck joins a pack of wolves at the end, abandoning any human contact. There is not a lot of blood, only to show that Buck has prevailed. Buck has found freedom at last.

Summary: Worst quality DVD I have even owned, to date.
Review: Video is bad, audio is bad, packaging is bad. Watching this DVD right out of the box is like watching a VHS tape that has been run 100 times. *NOT* recommended for any DVD fan. Maybe you'll have better luck with a VHS tape. Spend your money somewhere else.
