Book: Call of the Wild
By Jack London

Film: Call of the Wild (1934)

Published in 1903, this short adventure novel would tell the story of a Buck, who is stolen from his home and sold into the service of being a sled dog. The story would first be serialised in 1903 in the Saturday Evening Post and later put together as a novel in 1904.

The film directed by William A Wellman and starring Clark Gable, Loretta Young and Jack Oakie would omit all the storylines but one. The film would be a box office success and be the last film released by 20th Century before merging with Fox to become 20th Century Fox. The film would later be recognised as the film that Clark Gable impregnated Loretta Young whom gave birth to their illegitimate daughter Judy.
