Wiki.
The Call of the Wild is a 1908 American short silent Western film directed by D. W. Griffith and produced by the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company. The short, a "one-reeler", stars Charles Inslee, Harry Solter and Florence Lawrence. Its interior scenes were shot at Biograph's studio facilities in New York City, and its exteriors were filmed on location in Coytesville, today one of the oldest communities in Fort Lee, New Jersey.Prints of this short survive, including in the film archives of the Library of Congress. Despite its title, the motion picture is not an adaption of Jack London's 1903 adventure novel The Call of the Wild. Its content is entirely unrelated to that literary work.
