Trivia
This was the first film to be shot in the anamorphic widescreen format. Its inventor, Henri Chretien, called it Hypergonar, and had originally developed it for use in tank periscopes during World War I. The format languished until 1952, when Twentieth Century-Fox bought the rights from Chretien in order to create the CinemaScope process.

Goofs
This film was pulled from theatrical release because the Wide Format celluloid was shocking to the European Film Industry.

Quotes
L'homme: [No Dialogue Spoken in this Film]

Crazy credits
This film's history by: The Music of Light (1995).

Alternate versions
Only few frames of celluloid exist from this Title.

This movie would have been interesting to see

This looks cool. I actually had no idea somebody in France adapted Jack London's novel back then. Too bad this is probably lost. Would have really wanted to have seen this being screened in theaters back then. What's even cooler is that they say this film was the very first to be shot in anamorphic!
