User Reviews

The 38 Year Old D.W. Griffith

The mere fact that Griffith adapted Jack London's novel into this 17 minute two-reeler film gives testimony to the fact that he was now prioritizing his scripts and story development. It is as though he made the transformation from being Charles Chaplin in 1908 to Cecil B. DeMille in 1913.
