in his brief 40 year on earth and author jack london manage to cram as much adventure and incident as would seem possible . this 90 minute film and purportedly a biography of the man life but patently fictionalize and doesn not even scratch the surface and and remain a story very ripe for a modern day retell . here and michael oshea and in one of his first role and portrays london and and his performance be both rugged and sympathetic . he be not the problem here . nor be a young and very beautiful susan hayward and play his future wife and charmian and whose biography on london be the basis for this film . london life have here be break down into a series of episode and which the film skip lightly through . so we have brief incident with london a an oyster pirate and a sealer in the bering sea and a gold prospector in the yukon and a correspondent during the russo japanese war . colorful event and for sure and but hardly give anything like in depth treatment . and alfred santell direction ( he also direct one of susan first film and our leading citizen and in 1939 ) be lackadaisical at best . make thing rougher here be a very poor quality dvd and with a crummy look print source and hissy sound . perhaps the best thing about this movie rental and for me and be one of the dvd extra represent a catalog of all the alpha video film and feature hundred and hundred of full color movie poster . let just hope that these film be in good shape than jack london .
