Chingachgook, die grosse Schlange
5.9
Chingachgook, a Mohawk-born Delaware warrior, strives to rescue his wife Wahtawah from the clutches of an enemy camp of Huron. Joined by his trusted huntsman Deerslayer, the two confront racist pioneers and brutal British soldiers in their quest. Deerslayer catches the desire of Judith and thus the jealousy of her suitor, Harry. The action of the story functions like a seesaw, characters continuously traveling back and forth between a house on the lake and the Huron camp until the violent climax.

Les Misérables

Mar 11, 1958
Jean Valjean (Jean Gabin), un paysan condamné à cinq ans de travaux forcés pour avoir volé un pain, sort du bagne de Toulon en 1815 après y avoir passé dix-neuf ans, sa peine initiale ayant été prolongée de 14 ans pour ses multiples tentatives d'évasion. À Digne, en raison de ce mandat encombrant et dissuasif, il ne trouve refuge pour la nuit nulle part sauf dans la demeure de Monseigneur Bienvenu Myriel (Fernand Ledoux), un évêque charitable qui lui offre un nouveau départ. Repenti, sous une autre identité, Jean Valjean va faire fortune en inventant un procédé révolutionnaire en verroterie et va œuvrer pour le bien au détriment de son propre bonheur. Mais ses ambitions humanistes sont réprimées par des hommes de lois comme Javert père et fils (Bernard Blier) ou des malfrats comme Thénardier (Bourvil), vil aubergiste de Montfermeil. En 1848, dans un Paris qui gronde sous la menace de l’insurrection, Jean Valjean doit lutter pour rester un honnête homme.
