At the start of the film, Buck is up for auction, and while Miles puts up a feeble bid for the dog, Buck is won by another man, a mail carrier in need of dogs for his sled. Miles lives his mother and stepfather, John Thornton . . ."

Call of the Wild (1975) (DVD) - Amazon.com Review by Chris Clash January 11, 2007. "What appears to be a small budget for the film, does remarkably well in capturing the crude and bawdy Yukon gold rush boom towns, and the genuinely wintery and snowy northern wilderness. The film pulls no punches in delivering the violent aspects of the book, (the dog trade is crude and ugly) ..."
Call of the Wild (1975) (DVD) - Amazon.com Review by Patricia Gross December 30, 2006. "Call of the Wild (C. Heston) ... in Call of the Wild, it really isn't Heston that's the star, it's the dog who portrays Buck. He's the one who more or less, 'runs away with [the] show/bone', so to speak. ... Between man & dog, it is a powerful story; what a man won't do for a dog and what a dog won't do for a man.">
Call of the Wild (1975) (DVD) - Amazon.com Review by Jill Jenkins. November 26, 2006. "Jack London's Best, Charlton Heston at his best & Buck rounds it all out to be a perfect 5! This wonderfully naturalistic movie is not for the weak at heart. The story line was taken from Jack London's adventures in his own life experiences. Charlton Heston did an absolutely wonderful job acting out the part, Buck the dog made the entire movie perfect! "
Call of the Wild (1975) (DVD) - Amazon.com Review by B. Niedt February 21, 2005. "If it weren't for Heston, this wouldn't be worth the plastic it was burned on. The 'international cast' are unknowns, ... and the dubbed-in dialogue for the foreign-speaking actors is even worse. The soundtrack - early 70's bad electronic - is atrocious. And the DVD was apparently copied from a scratchy print. ... (P.S.: If you want to see a Jack London tale done well, buy or rent the 1991 film "White Fang", starring Ethan Hawke and Klaus Maria Brandauer.)
Call of the Wild (1975) (DVD) - Amazon.com Review by Nancy Moran October 19, 2004. "This is not a Disney film - This is a grownup adventure. 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. ... Buck develops a loyalty to Charlton Heston. ... Like the book, Buck joins a pack of wolves at the end, abandoning any human contact. ... Buck has found freedom at last."
The Call of the Wild - Dog of the Yukon (1997) (VHS) - Amazon.com Review by B. Chandler September 17, 2003. "Most excellent adaptation. Gold was found in Alaska, the rush to obtain it required a strong constitution and many dogs to do the work that horses usually did in the states. The environment bred harsh attitudes. ... Buck goes through many lives, trials, and tribulations finally realizing his potential. On the way he learns many concepts from surprise to deceit, and cunning; he also learns loyalty, devotion, and love. As he is growing he feels the call of the wild."
The Call of the Wild - Dog of the Yukon (1997) (VHS) - Amazon.com Review by Arleen Rutten June 7, 2000. "This superb version of Jack London's tale of unconditional love, survival of the fittest and London's belief that all living creatures including man are capable of reverting to their wild beginnings ... Exquisitely photographed in muted tones, Call of the Wild tells the story of Buck, the handsome Newfoundland, who is kidnapped because of his massive size from his pampered life in California, and endures horrific hardships, numerous owners, and self-discovery as he is taken to man's 'holy grail' - the Klondike Gold Rush."

Klondike Gold Rush - Yukon Territory 1897. "The Klondike gold rush began in July of 1897 when two ships docked in San Francisco and Seattle carrying miners returning from the Yukon with bags of gold. The press was alerted and papers carried the story to the masses. Soon, miners of all shapes and sizes, called "stampeders", were on their way to the gold fields. Within six months, approximately 100,000 gold-seekers set off for the Yukon. Only 30,000 completed the trip."
