    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Unlike the source novel, John Thornton has a back story. They wanted Thornton's experience to be similar to Buck's for this film adaptation to show both man and dog finding their strength after overcoming tragedy.
    • Goofs
      The message on the telegram that Perrault receives has a uniformity and cleanness that demonstrates that this was produced not on a typewriter, but by a modern laser printer. Also, the telegram's text uses a modern Courier font not present on typewriters of that period.
    • Quotes
      • [last lines]
      • John Thornton: [narrates] Some say that's the legend. Not so. You see, I knew him once, when he was just a dog at a men side. And even all this land is his, every summer, when he comes down to the valley, he remembers kind hands and old masters... before he went to his own... became his own master... before he heard the call.
    • Crazy credits
      This is the first film released under the 20th Century Studios banner (previously known as 20th Century Fox).

      Thus, there is a new 20th Century Studios logo, which is an updated version of the classic Fox logo.
    • Alternate versions
      Prior to re-shoots, Mercedes, Charles, and the remaining dog team die (off-screen) on the broken-up river; only Hal survives to return to Dawson and confront John Thornton in the Argonaut saloon. (Paraphrased: "I lost everything because of you: my dogs... my sister...") Despite successful test screenings, studio heads changed this to Hal saying, "My dogs ran off" -- indicating the team and (one assumes) Mercedes and Charles survived -- in an attempt to keep children from being upset.
