WITHOUT A DOUBT HAS A PLACE IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN WESTERN FILMS AND A PARTICULAR INTEREST FOR RANDOLPH SCOTT'S YOUTHFUL PORTRAYAL OF NATTY BUMPO(HAWKEYE). MICHAEL MANN'S VERSION CONVEYS A MORE CREDIBLE ADAPTATION FOR TODAYS AUDIENCE.
Rating: - The Best Version of an American Classic
My reason for writing this comment is to agree with the other reviewers that this classic movie version of a seminal piece of American Literature should be remastered and published in DVD format. I own a colorized VHS tape of this movie, but every time I play it I'm afraid it may get damaged! The writers who adapted Cooper's novel to the screen and Randolph Scott's masterful protrayal of the character of Hawkeye deserve to be resurrected from the oblivion in which it has languished for too many years!
Rating: - Last Mohicans Needs to be Digitally Remastered on DVD
I love Randolph Scott in this role. The movie is superior to Daniel Day Lewis' modern version. The problem with the film is the quality is choppy in a couple of places where the Master film was eroded and apparently spliced.
I rated this 4 star based on the Mater film's condition not the quality of the acting, directing and the movie itself. They need to get a better Master film and digitally restore it and put onto a DVD. I would pay triple for such a quality DVD production.
Rating: - Outstanding Adaptation of a Classic
This is an excellent adaptation of Fenimore Cooper's classic about the French and Indian War - superior, I think, to the much more violent Daniel Day Lewis version. The cast members give strong performances and there is a great deal of dramatic tension. I shall never forget the scene where Heather Angel leaps off a cliff to escape the murderous Magua. My only complaint is that the film is not available on a quality DVD. I hope that is soon remedied. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.
