This collection of Clark Gable’s three films for 20th Century Fox is probably more for fans than casual viewers, but there’s unruffled mighty to be pleased here. The grand disappointment is that William Wellman’s 1935 version of The Call of the Wild is only the nick (by some 14 minutes) wartime reissue version rather than the new. Any resemblance to anything written by Jack London is purely coincidental: it’s space in the Yukon, and there’s a dog called Buck in it who has to pull a thousand pound weight in one scene for a bet, but that’s about it. But this Buck is a stout St Bernard and he’s only a bit player in a gold race romp tailored for Clark Gable - but then at the height of his popularity, audiences would probably have burned the theatres to the ground if he’d played second fiddle to a hound. More renowned for Gable and co-star Loretta Young emerging from the snowed-in on-location shoot with an illegitimate child, it’s an exquisite enough myth even in the abridged reissue slice that now seems to be the only version surviving, although it shamefully throws away Reginald Owen’s edifying villain, who deserves a considerable better exit than he gets here.
Best of the bunch is Soldier of Fortune, a crowd-pleasing potboiler from the days when Technicolor was stunning (okay, it was shot in De Luxe, but the same principle applies) and CinemaScope really was CINEMAScope. There’s not noteworthy action (the final rescue is laughably easy), but Ernest K. Gann’s script is hastily fun, Clark Gable and Susan Hayward play well off each other, Michael Rennie and the colourful supporting cast more than accumulate their pay, Hong Kong probably never looked better on veil and there’s a pleasingly lush romantic pick up from Hugo Friedhofer. Provocative to eye director Edward Dmytryk, the one member of the Hollywood Ten to recant (after being appalled at the Party’s treatment of his family while he was in prison), turning in such an anti-Communist oater, but he handles it with flair. A deathless classic? Hell, no - but big entertainment.
The Immense Men has a broad opening half hour, but once the snow clears it’s pedestrian and overlong all the draw despite the combined star power of Clark Gable, Robert Ryan and Jane Russell. The DeLuxe color is problematic throughout - the early scenes and studio footage sight improbable, but out in the wide-open country it tends to accomplish everything on the scurry glance bleached out and wearisome, the early CinemaScope lenses probably exacerbating the limitations of the system. Calm, there’s some grand dialog and Ryan gets to declare the definitive description of his co-star - “There goes the only man I ever respected. He’s what every boy thinks he’s going to be when he grows up and wishes he had been when he’s an ragged man.”
Not an important acquire by any means, but on the whole an spellbinding one.
