Der Kaiser von Kalifornien
The Kaiser of California, better known as The Emperor of California German Der Kaiser von Kalifornien, is a 1936 film that has the distinction of being the first western film made in Nazi Germany. Some exterior scenes were even shot on location in the United States at Sedona and the Grand Canyon in Arizona and at Death Valley in California.
In the final scene the aged and impoverished Sutter is shown in Washington, where he has a vision of Americas future industrial might, seeing a land full of skyscrapers and factories.Unlike most American Westerns of the 1930s, The Kaiser of California offers a sympathetic portrait of the Indians, whom Sutter respectfully befriends. In this it follows the Karl May tradition of German Western stories, which often featured noble Indians and German immigrants turned pioneers and gunmen. ........
