As a boy, I saw the Leatherstocking Tales for the first time. At the time, I was fascinated by the film adaptation. After many, many years, they were finally repeated on television and are now shown almost every year at Christmas.

Well, as is the case with memories, the good sides are preferred. It is the same here with this four-part series.

It should come as no surprise that at the time, as with all literary film adaptations from Germany, little consideration was given to the original and the producers told their own story, which mostly adhered very loosely to the novels.

What I particularly dislike today is the use of weapons that did not exist at the time (carbines). Accordingly, almost all of the fight scenes are notable for their absurd firepower...there is wild shooting, although it was hardly possible to fire more than twice a minute. And don't forget that thanks to the length of the rifles, the shooters had to stand there while they loaded and made a safe target.

As for the acting...well, it was a German TV production. The way the Indians were imagined was particularly funny.

The series is certainly interesting for older people who are reminded of their youth. Younger people will hardly be interested.
