Last of the Mohicans 1920
Maurice Tourneur, more than most directors of his time, had the reputation of being a master of the use of lighting, often bringing emotional impact to a scene by the appropriate use of lighting in his sets. THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS was based on the famous novel by James Fenimore Cooper, dealing with the period of the French and Indian War along the border of the British Colonies and French Canada. The cowardice and treachery of one of the British Officers brings about the capture of a British fort, triggering a massacre of the colonists by some drunken Indians. Magua, a renegade Indian (Wallace Beery) captures one of the white women for whom he has developed a passion, and a rescue attempt is led by Uncas, a "good" Indian who is in love with her. After the woman falls to her death from a high cliff, Uncas engages in a mighty battle with Magua, resulting in the deaths of both of them.
