You will be pleased to know that I just watched the 1936 or was it '35, anyway, I watched the '30s version of LOTM the other day. It was very enjoyable-despite the fact that they still got things twisted around relationship wise. I enjoyed the fact that they had some more scenes that were from the book than the '92 movie and really enjoyed the lines that were identical to the '92 version. They even had the "you are I are going to have a serious disagreement". Does anyone know-were any of the indians real indians? It was hard for me to tell b/c picture quality could have been better.

That's exactly where I found it! Hulu is a great little site for watching movies-they do put some good classics on there. And I can always catch up on my favorite tv shows if I miss them at home.

This is going off topic a bit, but Obi... I'm sure you remember Iron Eyes Cody, right? He was the quintessential Indian in the movies when we were growing up, and was in that memorable "Crying Indian" public service announcement about pollution back in the 70s. What a face! What a regal Indian! Right??? Wrong!

Iron Eyes Cody was born to two full-blooded Italian immigrants from Sicily. His real name was Espera de Corti.

I was never so shocked and disillusioned when I discovered that!

Regard "real" Indians vs. "reel" Indians (yeah, another Obi-ism), in the 1911/II version of LOTM, the "Father of the Last Mohican" was played by William Dark Cloud (1855 [1861?] - 1918) an Algonquin/Abenaki chief who was born in St. Francis Indian Village in Quebec. His birth name was Elijah Tahamont and he was a Carlisle graduate. He died of pneumonia (complications of the influenza pandemic of 1918).

Yeah, this version has been discussed quite a bit, and those of us who have watched it seem to enjoy it quite a bit. I have it in my collection, and I like it a lot. I mean.... a very young and handsome Randolph Scott (even if he is wearing a very incorrect hat!) in the lead role? What more could a girl ask? I love his twinkle-in-the-eye attitude!

In the credits of the 1992 version, credit is clearly given to the script of the 1936 version, as well as to Cooper's novel.

I can't answer your question regarding the Indians, however. There may have been some "real" Indians as extras, but knowing Hollywood at that time, there wouldn't have been any in the lead roles.
