REMEMBERING LEX BARKER

Who died this date in 1973.....

From our friends at European Film Star postcards--IMPORTED FROM THE USA: LEX BARKER---A 2013 POST.....

After a Hollywood career as Tarzan and Mr Lana Turner, Barker moved to Europe. Here he worked with Federico Fellini and later became Old Shatterhand in the popular Karl May film series. 


Old Shatterhand - “Lake Of Terror! Battle Of Vengeance!” was the tagline of the German-Yugoslavian-French co-production Der Schatz im Silbersee/Treasure of Silver Lake (Harald Reinl, 1962), the first and the best of the European Westerns based on the novels by Karl May.

In 1962-1963 Der Schatz im Silbersee had over 3 million visitors and today it is still an entertaining film with likable characters like the Apache chief Winnetou (Pierre Brice) and his blood brother, the frontiersman Old Shatterhand, played by Lex Barker.  Der Schatz im Silbersee made both into superstars in Germany.
