Cast: Senta Berger, Lou Castel, Hans Christian Blech, Yella Rottlander, Yelena Samarina, William Layton, Rudiger Vogler, Tito Garcia, Jose Villasante, Alfredo Mayo, Angel Alvarez, Laura Currie, Lorenzo Robledo, Rafael Albaicin, Jose Vivo
This is a good Wim Wenders rendition of the Nathaniel Hawthorne classic tale. Wenders' characterization of the early immigrants' biases and customs is interesting, and the acting is likewise good.
