Movie Reviews of The Deerslayer

Movie Review: Bela Chingachgook
Summary: 3 Stars

ALPHA VIDEO offers bargain priced, often hard-to-find vintage movies that are ideal for those willing to skip DVD extras. Their transfers show no evidence of restoration, so quality varies from one title to the next, with "fair to good" being the average.


THE DEERSLAYER (1920) is a German cinematic production of one of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking tales. Although published last, "The Deerslayer" is actually volume one of the series; it introduces Natty Bumpo (here portrayed by Emil Marnelok) and his companion Chingachgook (Bela Lugosi).

Shot in the European countryside and containing a fair amount of action sequences, the film is marred by an overabundance of intertitles. The main interest here is seeing Bela Lugosi's only surviving silent-era performance.


Another horror movie actor in feathers is Boris Karloff, who plays a Native American in the 1920 version of Fenimore Cooper's THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS (with Wallace Beery), and an Indian CHIEF in Cecil B. DeMille's 1947 epic, UNCONQUERED (starring Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard).


Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll rating.
