“The Last of the Mohicans,” based on the James Fenimore Cooper’s classic novel, is brought to life in this rare silent film, which features a lot of fighting. Alice and Cora Munro attempt to find their father, a British officer in the French and Indian War. They come across French soldiers and their companions, Huron tribesmen led by Magua, who is evil. Chingachgook and his son Uncas, the last of the Mohican tribe, and their white ally, the frontiersman Natty Bumppo, known as Hawkeye, fight to save the women.
This film features the well-known actor of his day, Wallace Beery. Although the film has some violent scenes, they are not graphic or gratuitous, but it does show some people die and some lying dead on the ground. Nevertheless, the scenes show relatively little blood.
We are pleased to award this film our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12-plus.
