The Last of the Mohicans is a 1971 BBC serial, based on the 1826 novel of the same name by James Fenimore Cooper, directed by David Maloney.
[1] It was shown during the Sunday tea time slot on BBC One, which for several years showed fairly faithful adaptations of classic novels aimed at a family audience.
[3] It was produced for North America by 20th Century-Fox Television and broadcast by ABC in the United States.
However, it was praised for the quality of the acting, particularly the performance as Magua by Philip Madoc, an experienced Welsh TV actor who often played villains, and Richard Warwick as Uncas.
In a contemporary review in The New York Times, John J. O'Connor criticized the "natural handicap of vocal accents" of British actors portraying Native Americans.
