The actors on the set all spoke their own language Nick. Pierre Brice (Winnetou) spoke french, and Lex Barker spoke english. They were later dubbed German in the studio. Lex Barker had a pretty cool role in Fellini's "La Dolce Vita". In the early 60's, Rome and the Italian film industry (often with German co-financing) was Europe's Hollywood, with lot's of American actors shooting in Europe, and hanging out in the bars and clubs of Italy, Spain and France. That presence of American stars in Rome at that time is well portrayed in "La Dolce Vita". If the Karl May "euro Western" blows your mind you should check out the great Sergio Leone westerns, which were all shot in Spain. But I guess as a movie buff you have already seen them?

I had never heard of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand until I moved to, and lived in, Germany in the 1990s. My German friends could not believe that this American had no clue who Winnetou and Old Shatterhand were. My German wife, at the time, could only grin. She is familiar enough with Americans and the history of the Winnetou and Old Shatterhand stories to know why we Amis have never heard of these two characters. Then there were the Terence Hill (Mario Girotti) and Bud Spencer (Carlo Pedersoli) films. Most Germans know these two by their English stage names. My German friends figured I would have heard about them too. Since these two actors are Italians, they would not be on the radar for most Ami movie-goers. Nick, welcome to the "elite group" of Amis familiar with European "Spaghetti Western" actors (other than Clint Eastwood in his early Western films).

There is a great deal of cultural lore for children & youth that is known all across Europe but not in the US: Winnetou, Bud Spencer & Terrence Hill, Lucky Luke, Asterix, Louis de Funès, La Linea, Nils Holgersson, Sandokan, and so on. It's funny that some of the most well-known ones are fake Americans. There is a similar situation in Japan, BTW. There is a fascination with European culture there that is unknown to most Europeans. This extends to food, movie influences and classical movies, but is also apparent in anime & manga. For example, both the Fullmetal Alchemist and Attack on Titan franchises are et in steampunk parallels to WWI-time Europe, and many of top anime director Hayao Miyazaki's works are set in fictional worlds inspired by specific regions of Europe.

Around 15 or 20 years back the tourism office of Arizona had on their homepage a full explanation, why the German Lufthansa was the only international airline, which have flown non stop from Europe to Phoenix, to bring all the German tourists searching for the roots of Winnetou to Arizona. And I read somewhere, that the Apache reserve adjusted to those German tourists ;-) In the last years a few people Americans and Native Americans tried to crowd fund a movie project to make an authentic movie of the novel Winnetou I, but the didn't reached the goal to start filming. There are only two Winnetou movies which are not totaly garbage regarding the novels: Winnetou I and Schatz im Silbersee. All the others not really adapted the novels, only a few names and the event of Winnetous death in Winnetou III. Producer Wendtlandt did get death threads for klinng Winnetou despite the fact, that the charakter also died in the novels... Pierre Brice as a French actor playing beloved Winnetou did a lot for the German-French friendship after WWII. For him it was a blessing and a curse to play Winnetou, because the audience didn't wanted him to see in any other role. But he was one of the most beloved actors of all time in Germany.

Everyone who has seen these films has probably heard the following words several times as a child outgrowing their rug-rat status (even those who grew up bilingually): "Ein Indianer kennt keinen Schmerz" (literally: "An Indian knows no pain"). In English, however, the saying is "pain is weakness leaving the body" - means one has to shout it out. That explains a lot. As a Man-Child, pain must be proclaimed loudly and communicated on all channels. So if he would've seen Winnetou...what a wonderful, silent world that would've been. But since he's still a Man-Child, there's hope, right? Right?

There is also a modern version of the Winetou series, shot just a few years back, which is really nice and worth watching!

I thought these were kid's movies, watched by 10-year olds. In one there was more killings than in Commando. Anyway, nice video, one of your best.

Winnetou is a fictional character from Karl May. A famous German author of Western novels. Many of these were also filmed in the 60's, and are now considered cult films here.

Hey, I really had to laugh out loud when I realised that the "famous American" is Winnetou. He was my first love, really (so guess how old I am). Fun fact: Not all actors spoke German. Winnetou (Piere Brice) spoke french and was dubbed, Old Shatterhand spoke english and was dubbed... and all the movies (there are many) were filmed in Kroatia. Another fun fact: In the DDR they also made movies about Native Americans which were filmed in the same region. Even some of the actors were the same ( Gojko Mitić). But before you watch "Der Schuh des Manitou" you HAVE to watch "Der Schatz im Silbersee" which was the first movie with Winnetou in order to understand it, especially the gangster boss. It is pretty much the same story (kind of).
