Ruf der Wildnis

This is a great classic movie with excellent story, top notch leading actor and startling scenery. Its very good quality color, considering it was made so long ago. I'd love to see it digitally restored. The opening scene shows a big herd of caribou! The mountains and wilderness is just gorgeous. It draws you into the adventure of pushing through wild lands, deadly climate, and dangerous people living on the edge. Some are there for gold, others to make money off of people looking for gold. This German sheperd goes from a pampered house, to the brutality and beauty of Alaska. He faces lots of exciting challenges and over comes them all. If you're looking for special effects, and digital 'show', this isn't it. This movie was made when genuine STORY and script mattered! The special effects in this movie, are all nature's wonders. It must have been marvelous on a big screen. If you like Jeremiah Johnson, you'll love this.
