Double Feature Adventures up on the big screen
Call of the Wild 1935 directed by William Wellman with Clark Gable, Loretta Young, Jack Oakie
Looking for adventure and gold in Canada's Klondike, Gable finds the gold in Loretta's eyes simply irresistible instead. They heat up the screen in this fast paced adventure based (somewhat loosely) on Jack London's novel. Global warming starts here.
Two Years Before the Mast 1946 directed by John Farrow with Alan Ladd, Brian Donlevy, William Bendix
The spoiled, obnoxious playboy son of a shipping magnate discovers the cruelty and abuse suffered by the crew first hand when he is press-ganged aboard. No romance and glory on the high seas but the transformation of a man instead. One of Ladd's best roles and a smash box office hit.
