A BLOCKBUSTER WESTERN_FROM GERMANY!!!!, 28 September 2001
10/10
Author: sasheegm (sasheegm@webtv.net) from florida, united states

i have just finished watching a video tape of "der kaiser von kalifornien" starring german actor, director, luis trenker. i must say it is one of the best filmed westerns i have ever seen. mr.trenker filmed on location in the united states. he used many extras in all his major scenes and battles, signifying a large blockbuster budget for this film. for 1936, it is one of the finest photographed, acted and directed films from that time. the musical score is played throughout the film, giving it a thrilling feeling for the different scenes of the pioneers life, johann sutter! if you ever get a chance to see it. do so! if only better prints of this classic german western were available.
