Call of the Wild (1935)

In a desperate bid to reach the Alaska gold fields, Jack Thornton finds himself embroiled in a high-stakes game of chance, where luck is as elusive as the treasure he seeks. A twist of fate leads him to Buck, a canine of extraordinary lineage, part wolf, part sled dog, teetering on the precipice of a grim fate at the hands of a haughty Englishman also bound for the Yukon. Rescuing Buck with a modest sum of $250, Jack finds an unlikely ally in his quest. Joined by Shorty Houlihan, a man with a colorful past and a stolen map to a goldmine, their journey is fraught with challenges. When they stumble upon a distressed woman, Claire Blake, the widow of the unfortunate owner of their pilfered map, their expedition takes an unexpected turn. Buck proves his worth beyond measure, aiding Jack in winning a hefty $1,000 wager, crucial for procuring necessary supplies. Amid the howling wilderness and the glimmering promise of gold, a tender moment shared between Jack, Claire, and Buck under the starlit sky, where their fingers barely touch, ignites a spark of hope and camaraderie in their arduous journey.

Call of the Wild is an adventure movie featuring Clark Gable and directed by William A. Wellman.
