The Desperado Trail

The Desperado Trail (Winnetou 3. Teil, 1965) is the western you can watch online on iFILM — the third and final chapter of West Germany's hugely popular Karl May saga.

Rollins and his men want the Apache land, so they hand out rifles and liquor and push the tribes toward war with the settlers. Apache chief Winnetou (Pierre Brice) and his blood brother Old Shatterhand (Lex Barker) ride out to keep the peace. Then Rollins frames Winnetou for the murder of a Jicarilla chief's son, and the trap snaps shut.

Shot across the rugged hills of Yugoslavia, the Winnetou films turned Pierre Brice into a household name all over 1960s Europe. Keep an eye out for a young Gojko Mitić, soon to become the Eastern Bloc's favorite on-screen Apache. It's old-fashioned and earnest, and that's the whole point — a clean, big-sky adventure about loyalty. Stream The Desperado Trail (1965) online on iFILM.
