KARL MAY AT CCC","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe writer Karl May is a household name in his native Germany, where he is associated with thrilling Western tales and sweeping adventure stories. Following earlier attempts to bring his novels to the screen, films adapted from May's work found their greatest success in the 1960s. Seven of them were produced by Artur Brauner at CCC Film, all starring Lex Barker and directed by veteran filmmakers Robert Siodmak, Hugo Fregonese, Franz Josef Gottlieb and Harald Reinl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOld Shatterhand and Winnetou and Shatterhand in the Valley of Death both feature May's most beloved characters: the frontiersman Old Shatterhand and the Apache chief Winnetou, who find themselves first caught up in a plot to start a war between Native Americans and white settlers and then a scheme to steal a gold shipment from the US Army. The Shoot, Through Wild Kurdistan and In the Kingdom of the Silver Lion all follow adventurer Kara Ben Nemsi as he travels through the Balkans and the Middle East, while The Treasure of the Aztecs and The Pyramid of the Sun God chart the exploits of Dr Karl Sternau as he seeks vast riches to fund political action in Mexico.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWildly entertaining, shot in beautifully cinematic European locations and helmed by some of the most talented filmmakers working in Germany during the 1960s, these popular Karl May adaptations paved the way for the many Italian Westerns that would soon follow. The Masters of Cinema Series is honoured to present all seven of Artur Brauner's Karl May adaptations for the first time ever on home video in the UK from brand new 4K restorations by CCC Film.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBox set content:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOld Shatterhand\u003cbr\u003eWinnetou and Old Shatterhand in the Valley of Death\u003cbr\u003eThe Shoot\u003cbr\u003eThrough Wild Kurdistan\u003cbr\u003eIn the Kingdom of the Silver Lion\u003cbr\u003eThe Treasure of the Aztecs\u003cbr\u003eThe Pyramid of the Sun God\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial Features and Technical Specs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e4K RESTORATIONS OF ALL SEVEN FILMS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efrom the original camera negatives undertaken by CCC Film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal German audio tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional English subtitles, newly revised for this release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew introductions to each film by Sir Christopher Frayling, author of Spaghetti Westerns: Cowboys and Europeans from Karl May to Sergio Leone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew audio commentaries on Old Shatterhand and The Treasure of the Aztecs by film historian David Kalat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKarl May at CCC – new interview with producer Alice Brauner, managing director of CCC Film and daughter of CCC founder Artur Brauner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProdigal Son – new interview with film historian Sheldon Hall on the late career of Robert Siodmak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival making of documentary on Old Shatterhand and Winnetou and Shatterhand in the Valley of Death\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival featurette on Daliah Lavi, star of Old Shatterhand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival interview with Bernhard Schmid, co-editor and contributor to Karl May Verlag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival featurette on the restoration of The Shoot, Through Wild Kurdistan and In the Kingdom of the Silver Lion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival news footage on The Shoot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal theatrical trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EUREKA!
