“Two of the silent era’s most talented and prominent directors, Maurice Tourneur and Clarence Brown, joined forces to create an unforgettable and visually delightful rendition of this classic 1826 American novel of frontier life by James Fenimore Cooper.
Set in 1757, amidst the turmoil of a war-torn nation struggling for its identity, the British fight French forces which have rallied together with native Indian tribes. Basing his novel on real people who played a significant part in the French and Indian War, history is realistically re-enacted while also telling a deeply moving personal story of individuals.
Frenchman Maurice Tourneur’s smooth and sophisticated style adds elegance and grace to this powerful, action-packed drama, while also capturing beautiful scenery. The film shows sensitive attention to detail, beautiful photography, sets and costumes, and above all, a story superbly told in the poignant medium of silent film.
Two Australians also contributed to the success of The Last of the Mohicans, namely first-class cricket legend Sydney Deane, playing the key part of General Webb, and Joseph Singleton. Deane appeared in dozens of roles, large and small, during the silent era, first working for Jesse Lasky in various Cecil B. DeMille productions.
Altogether, these aspects make The Last of the Mohicans a film ahead of its time in 1920, and it is still an outstanding and highly praised work of early cinema.”
