Review of Winnetou

Winnetou (1963)
1/10
Pre-Sergio Leone Euro-western
25 May 1999
I saw this film at a military theater in 1965. This film was so bad that it was hilarious. The troops were rolling in the aisles. Right from the beginning, when Lex Barker walks into a saloon and is assaulted by approximately 30 bad guys (attired in Tom Mix vintage costume and doing their best imitation of Charles King, the 1930's best bad guy ) and prevails; to the end. Also some arrows bounced off intended targets. Apparently the Europeans who made this film had quite a different perspective on westerns than we did. I would love to see this one again, if the people who made it haven't burned it yet.
