Product Description

This impressive silent adaptation of the James Fenimore Cooper tale captures the essence of his work by keeping the film's storyline close to the written work. Set during the French and Indian Wars, our adventure centers on two sisters trying to find their lost father, a British officer, while trying to avoid the French and their allies, the Huron. Helping our heroines are Chingachgook and his son Uncas, the last of the Mohican tribe, and their friend and ally, the frontiersman known as Hawkeye.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Last of the Mohicans (Silent Version)
    Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2008

    The movie is an excellent depiction of James Fenimore Cooper's nove. The filming is beautifully done and for the most part true to Cooper's story line. Overall the movie follows the original book's plot better than any of the subsequent movie efforts including the 1990's version with Daniel Day Lewis as Hawkeye. The only other filmed version more true to the book is the 1970's Masterpiece Theater production. The filming of the massacre at Fort William Henry is a film masterpiece considering that it was produced in 1920. The realism is frightening in its rendition. Overall this is an excellent movie.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Worth your time....
    Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2015

    Interesting version - NOT the same story as the Daniel Day Lewis version - but a story that more closely follows the novel (in the original Uncas falls for the Dark One, not Hawkeye). Plus, Hawkeye is mostly behind the scenes. The focus is clearly on Uncas and the ladies (and the bad guy).

    There is also a secondary villain who adds a bit of interest (and, for me, surprise) to the story. Montcalm is more honorable (... sort of...) in this version than in the 'revised' versions which have been the accepted mainstay since about 1934 or so (the first talky version, I believe).

    Of course, you must appreciate silent movies and get past the fact that the music used is not really that fitting. Still worth your viewing. Wallace Beery plays a native american - he does an OK job, but he is not the real lead - he's just the 'biggest name.'

    I watch this after re-watching the Daniel Day-Lewis version. Interesting watching a silent movie, had not done that before. The description said this closely follows the book and is indeed a different story line from the Daniel Day-Lewis version. How far we have come from this type of movie compared to the other one!

    Very well done version of novel. Hawkeye is, essentially, a secondary character and no "matinee idol"...which is as it should be. Very enjoyable silent version.

    2.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THE FILM DETECTIVE RELEASE OF THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1920)
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    The Film Detective "restored version" of LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1920) is completely misleading. Not only is it not restored at all (it's a fuzzy, gross PD-level transfer), it's in fact the 1936 sound version of LAST OF THE MOHICANS. Their box art and disc, as well as the product description here on Amazon, claim this is the 1920 Maurice Tourneur/Clarence Brown version, but pop the disc into your player and it's the 1936 George B. Seitz version starring Randolph Scott. Film Detective's track record is generally hit or miss, and this is a definite miss. Even the Alpha release is preferable because it's, ya know, the actual 1920 version you were hoping for when you purchased it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best cinema adaptation of Cooper's great novel, following very closely the original story, unlike the 1936 and 1992 versions
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 18, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    EXCELLENT! This old, silent black and white 1920 film is probably the best cinema adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper's novel. I liked it A LOT! Below, more of my impressions, with limited SPOILERS.

    IMPORTANT PRECISION: in principle this is a Region 1 NTSC DVD, which should not play on standard Region 2 PAL equipment. However, to my surprise, it played all right on my perfectly standard Region 2 equipment.

    After watching three cinema versions of "The Last of the Mohicans" (1920, 1936 and 1992) for my personal taste this one is the best, with 1992 version coming distant second and the 1936 being absolutely the worst. The main reason why I consider this one as the best is that the scenario of this ancient silent movie follows closely the original story from the novel. In this version the only romance is between Uncas and Cora - even the fact that Heyward is courting Alice is left aside. Hawkeye is a middle aged forest ranger with little interest in the ladies, as in the book. Unlike in other versions, but following the novel, here Heyward is a honourable and likeable fellow. Magua is of course extremely evil and despicable, but very dangerous and Montcalm and Colonel Munro are very noble, exactly like in the book.

    Uncas and Cora are definitely main characters and their mutual fascination followed by timid flirting and finally by the great tragic finale are shown in the most excellent way. Barely 17 years old actress Barbara Bedford, who played Cora, is EXCELLENT, even if it was only her third role. She clearly connected with Alan Roscoe, the much older and much more experienced actor playing Uncas (he was 34 and appeared already in about 40 films) - they connected so well that two years later they got married. It was a stormy marriage - they got a daughter together, then they divorced in 1928, remarried in 1930 and stayed together until his death in 1933.

    The film is only 60 minutes long so it can not cover all the events described in the book, but all the most crucial ones are here: betrayal of Magua, siege of the cave, desperate measures, flight to Fort William Henry, the siege and its result, the Delaware village and then the great finale. Also, unlike in other versions in this one the character of David Gamut is present. On another hand there is one extra character added, a traitor who didn't figure in the book (I will say no more about him).

    The massacre at Fort William Henry is shown in a terrific way – it is a long, very dynamic and actually a pretty scary scene. A particularly well thought thing is that the plates with written text are always decorated with a picture showing Uncas watching the sunset when standing guard at the mouth of a cave. It definitely gives this film a special atmosphere.

    Bottom line, this is a very good film, to discover absolutely. I had great time watching it and I will definitely keep my DVD for another viewing. ENJOY!
