Description/Summary
- Summary:
- In telling the story of German-born pioneer John Sutter, famous for the gold discovery at his mill, actor/director Luis Trenker returned to the awe-inspiring vistas and daring feats of rock-climbing that had made his mountain films such a sensation. The result is a film whose style is deeply Germanic and spectacularly American at the same time, virtually unseen in the United States, before this 2K restoration by the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Stiftung.
