He also made a great Eurospy film called OUR MAN IN JAMAICA with Brad Harris.<br />Most of the 1960's German "Winnetou" films starred Lex Barker as Old Shatterhand, with French actor as Apache hero "Winnetou." Rod Cameron played Old Firehand in another one, and Stewart Granger played Old Surehand in a few. I really like Granger in anything, but supposedly he and Brice did not get along at all (Barker and Brice were the best of friends), and as I remember Winnetou is not featured as much in this one as in the others (I notice you didn't mention him, proof of his reduced status!).<br />Everyone should see at least one of these German "Winnetou" westerns. They are nothing like Italian or Spanish westerns in tone or appearance, and the location photography in Yugoslavia (in what's now Croatia) is beautiful.Bill S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07573129431937332002noreply@blogger.com
