1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible quality and wrong format, July 15, 2010

This review is from: The Treasure of Silver Lake (DVD)

The movie is great. This DVD is a copy of the video tape. The quality, however, is terrible especially if watched on an HD TV. You can clearly tell it is a copy of a video tape because of the lines on the bottom of the screen. Furthermore this is full screen (4:3) while the original movie was made in 2.35:1 format. I am wondering why amazon.com is selling this copy of the movie while Amazon.de is selling a pristine Blu-Ray copy of the movie in English (or in German with English subtitles) which plays on American Blu-Ray players. Furthermore, the copy sold on Amazon.de is in 2.35:1 format which is the format of the original movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars A feel good western with everything..., June 15, 2009

By 

Tony Harris (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Treasure of Silver Lake (DVD)

This romantisized Western from a more innocent time has it all, The good guy is rugged Western poineer "Old Shatterhand" (played nicely by Lex Barker) who, not unlike the Lone Ranger, has an Indian sidekick. Together they stop the band of really bad bad guys, led by Herbert Lom, who will stop at nothing to get the title treasure. Of course there's plenty of action, funny comic relief characters, an Indian fight,and a happy ending. It's the kind of movie that makes you want to play cowboys and Indians again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Western!, March 15, 2010

By 

Victor Costa "Film Student" (Fort Pierce, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Treasure of Silver Lake (DVD)

I always enjoyed Lex Barker as Tarzan, and I found him equally good as the hero in this western. Along with his partner friend, the indian Winnetou, they remind one of the Lone Ranger and Tonto. They are up against bad guy Colonel Brinkley, played by Herbert Lom, who played the long suffering Chief Inspector Dreyfus in the Pink Panther series, as well as countless other roles. Colonel Brinkley wants the other half of the map that tells of the location of the treasure of silver lake, and he's willing to kill to get it.Fred Engel, who's father has been killed by Colonel Brinkley, vows revenge. However, Fred's girl Ellen and her father get kidnapped by Brinkley's bandits. Old Shatterhand (Lex Barker) and Winnetou aid Fred in planning a rescue, fighting a battle at a fortified farm, and confronting hostle indians. Who will get the treasure of gold? Anyway, there's a lot of action and a couple of comic sidekicks ; it all ads up to a fun western.
