...Call of the Wild. Jack London's junior high school classic of beasts and the beast in us all becomes a stirring melodrama in the hands of the unlikely duo of Clark Gable and Loretta Young. The film version loses the real feel of the hot bolld of the novel, but it has an appeal of its own, as it makes little pretense of following the drift of the book. The magnificent Jack Oakie is alone worth the price of admission which, of course, is free. Channel...

In fact, nobody notices how twisted they are, for in Vegas, one can pursue his own dream, no matter how savage -- just as long as one doesn't "burn the locals."

It makes no difference that fooling widows and robbing shopkeepers is immoral -- this particular mood of freedom from other people's laws and feelings is the most spirited aspect of the film. You delight in seeing the attractive duo get away with their tricks. They play their games with wit and style and enjoy each other's company immensely. When they're together you have to like them, no matter what they...
...Watson pursue Nazi spies and saboteurs across the face of Mother England. One of the better efforts in a good series of films, considering the fact that the producers generally took a few days to churn one out. Rathbone and Nigel Bruce have created excellent likenesses of the fabled duo, and despite the nonexistence of a Martha Hudson, the mysteries tend to work. Channel...
