WaynamoJim,

The 1936 version of The Last of the Mohicans starring Randolph Scott is not currently available on DVD. There is a DVD of the 1932 version with Harry Carey, Sr. There are also some episodes of a 1957 TV Series called "Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans" starring Lon Chaney Jr. that are available on DVD.

Of course the 1992 version is also available.

Here are the Url's:

Hi E.J. Sorry it took so long to reply--I was "out-of-it" for a few days.

Oh man, Unconquored was the first movie of this type that I ever saw and I loved it from the first time I saw it. Yep, I hate mot seeing this great classic not being released. Same thing goes for: Beau Geste. I know that Beau Geste was released in a Gary Cooper Signature collection--but TRY finding one available. I'll check DDDvD.com and see if they have The Howards of Virginia. I'm always interested in seeing a film I feel is a great one--for the first time.

Cheers and best regards--Carl.

Carl,

You can order both The Howards of Virginia and the Gary Cooper collection at deepdiscountdvd.com

As I said before, if you liked Allegheny Uprising, you'll like The Howards of Virginia. It was directed by Frank Lloyd (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame) and featured Cary Grant, Martha Scott (In Old Oklahoma), and Sir Cedric Hardwicke. Once you get used to the idea of Cary playing a backwoods hillbilly (he was really cast against type here), you'll enjoy it.

Ringo,

How could I forget about Unconquored? That was a good one. Too bad it wasn't included in the Cecil B. DeMille Collection that Universal is releasing on DVD on May 23. Bummer. I'm pretty sure The Howards of Virginia is available on DVD, though.

Ringo,

If you liked Allegheny Uprising, you may also want to check out Cary Grant in The Howards of Virginia (1940). That one, along with Drums Along the Mohawk, are the only other movies I can think of that cover the American Revolution/Colonial period in American History.

I liked Allegheny Uprising. It's a good movie, and also one of the Duke's rarest (here in the US, its not available on any home video format). It was also Duke's first film on the RKO contract he signed soon after the success of Stagecoach. He and Claire Trevor worked well together, as always. The setting of this one isn't too far from where I live here in Buffalo.
