I just saw this movie - it was very hard to follow (and I had read the book), lots of gory dog fights with blood, language not suitable for kids, the dubbing was out of sync, the VHS quality was very grainy. Charlton Heston ("My dog doesn't like the way you smell")could not pull this version of Jack London's classic out of the cold - though his parts were done fine. The movie could have been shortened to improve the pace - there was too much time spent on snow scenes and characters gazing at each other. It is certainly not worth purchasing - I got it for free as a giveaway. The ending is confusing as if a scene were missing - Heston ends up under ice in a lake. Buck then romps off with the wolves. Bottom line - View another version of this classic story.
