No pun intended ... the first outing of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand ... still when they made the Winnetou trilogy they began from scratch. As if they never had met before and all that. Interesting and really good casting choices. A European cast and therefor surely a babylonian effort to make this work - everyone surely talking in their native language. What I did not have on my radar when I watched this as a kid, was the fact that one very infamous actor from the Pink Panther movies would be in this ... the one that does not work well with Inspector Clouseau that is.
Here he plays a villain again - though a very straight one. These westerns were made in Europe and mostly in Jugoslavia ... it still looks really good. If you are a fan of the movies back then, you will cherish them ... if not, it might be better to start off with the Winnetou trilogy first ... see if you like what you ... see. Continue from there if that is something you'd like to do.
