In frontier Arizona, Old Surehand, a frontier scout and blood brother of the young Apache chief Winnetou, is the sworn enemy of the Vultures, a band of outlaws disguised as Indians who terrorize prospectors and settlers. When the Vultures capture Annie, who is transporting her father's moneybelt filled with diamonds, Martin Baumann, who is in love with Annie, rescues her. Baumann mistakenly believes that the Shoshone are responsible for the slaughter of his family, and he is captured by the tribe for insulting their chief, but Old Surehand saves Baumann's life by performing feats of skill and strength. Old Surehand, Winnetou, and Baumann then hear that the wagon train in which Annie is traveling is about to be ambushed by the Vultures, and they fight off the gang until the Shoshone braves come to the rescue.

Ahh...I love Elke Sommer. Stewart Granger is pretty good in this, too. And Pierre Brice. But, I love Elke Sommer. The movie overall is entertaining and enjoyable. But, I love Elke Sommer. ;o)
ReplyDeleteNice new header image for the blog, Tom!
Where'd you find that image?
heh heh heh...
:o)
Very enjoyable Winnetou film. I found a widescreen VHS for a couple bucks at a video closout store. I transferred it to DVD before the tape degraded too much.
ReplyDeleteGranger looks like he's enjoying himself and hams it up a bit. Kinda like he's playing a joke on the producers by even being there.
Chris, the new header image is courtesy of Vicky and she did a great job didn't she?
ReplyDeleteI always look at the Winnetou films through the eyes of a 12 year-old. Plenty of action, adventure and fun. Just like the old days at the neighborhood theater.
