Obviously, Len Maltin never saw the film, as he has the lead roles reversed. Actually, Jon Hall plays Major Duncan Heyward, and Michael O'Shea plays Hawk-Eye. Color, and an interesting cast, make this version linger in your memory. Buster Crabbe has the best non-starring role, of his career, as the villainous Magua.

In responce to the information given in the Editorial Review of The Last Of The Redmen.

The character Cora, (Julie Bishop) does not enter into an ill-fated relationship with the character Magua (Buster Crabbe), she enters into a relationship with the character Uncas (Ric Vallin).

Michael O Shea, plays the part of Hawkeye, and not Major Howard.

Jon Hall, plays the part of Major Howard, and is not the least bit odious.

But, as in most versions of the novel, The Last Of The Mohicans, some of the characters from the novel do not appear in the adaptations.

In this version, a child character Davy (Buzz Henry), appears, if any character in the film is odious, it is surely this one, and he`s not mentioned in the novel.

The character Chingasgook, Uncas`s father, who is one of the main characters in the novel, and other versions of this book, does not even appear in this movie.

I think whoever reviewed this movie, should have watched it more closely, and at least got their facts correct.
