Description
Summary:
"In 1740, as English troops seize French settlements in North America, the Huron and Delaware tribes are enlisted as mercenaries on opposite sides of the conflict. But an Indian warrior attempts to unite them ... filmed in Slovakia and Bulgaria. Like Spaghetti Westerns, the Red Westerns are classic American Westerns created far, far from the American West--in this case, by Communist East Germany's legendary DEFA Film Studios. But unlike Westerns made in the West, these beautifully shot films, with plots based on historical sources, made the Native Americans the heroes and cast the white settlers as villains."--Container notes.
Note:Based on the story "Deerslayer" by James Fenimore Cooper.
Originally released as a motion picture in 1967.
"Westerns with a twist."--Container.
