For me its easy to see how people got along with 7 channels or so in the 60's. T.V. was much better then in many ways. This episode of Twilight Zone is a perfect example. I think the acting, directing, writing and musical score are all top rate. I really enjoy when Erich takes "Talky Tina" to the basement and is unable to destroy/harm Tina. Especially as he puts her head in the vice and Tina tells him, "I can take it if you can!" I just saw this episode again last night (for the 30th time or so) and it is as great as ever. Also as Erich dies in the end, as much as you expect him to say something as he is dying, he just quietly checks out at the foot of the stairs. Love it! Love it! Gary

The Call of the Wild
(1972)
A man and his dog fight through hostile Alaska's 19th century gold rush.

I saw this movie when I was about 11 years old. I didn't expect anything from it and was very happily surprised. Obviously low budget, this is offset by the authentic looking town, beautiful locations, Hestons great acting and Jack Londons timeless classic. It for me is one of my favorites, and I would recommend it to anyone. Even though the dialogue seems to be dubbed here and there I didn't have a problem with it. How Buck ends up in Alaska and is saved by Heston sets the tone for their unique friendship! Heston must decide which path to take, as Buck must decide as well! This is definitely a story of fate and of personal choices ending with a desperate and dramatic climax! I read some of the other reviews ans it seems most people don't like this film. I don't care, I was able to overlook the dubbing and the other flaws mentioned simply because this movie looks like the Yukon in the latter half of the 19th century. The story is touching and excuse me, but i like it. When you have Heston it makes up for a lot............
