The Call of the Wild is a 1935 American adventure film adaptation of Jack London's novel of the same name. A prospector heading for the Alaska gold rush rescues a sled dog from its cruel master. Stars Clark Gable and Loretta Young had an affair during the film's production, resulting in Young's hushed-up pregnancy and the birth of their daughter Judy Lewis (1935-2011). This was also the last film released under the 20th Century Pictures' banner before it merged with Fox Film Corporation to create 20th Century-Fox.
