Best Assistant Director | 1937
On 5/1/36 "The Triplicate" reported that a camera crew showed up in Crescent City and Smith River to undertake the preparations for filming an adaption of "The Last of the Mohicans" using Yurok, Hoopa and Tolowa extras. Tolowas and mixed-Tolowas hired on as extras included Clifford Winton, Harry Bob, Fred Moorehead, William White, Andrew Whipple, Chester Scott, Johnny Frank, Chester James, Robert Spott, Lawrence Spott, Edward Spott and Jack James. They were paid $5.00 a day. The federal government arranged the pay scale for the reservation Indians who had acted as extras.
For several years, the Oscars included a category for Best Assistant Director. Clem Beauchamp received such a nomination for his work on this movie.
The film takes place in 1757.
The scene in which a bare-chested Randolph Scott is tied to a torture-stake inside an Indian village does not appear in James Fenimore Cooper's novel.
Both Phillip Reed and Robert Barrat were forced to shave their normally hairy chests for their roles in this film as Mohicans.
"Chingachgook: Great Spirit. Fair warrior goes to you. Swift, straight and unseen like arrow shot into sun. Let him sit at Counsel fire of my tribe. For he is Uncas, my son. My fire, his ashes. Your fire, is bright. Now, all my tribe is there, but one. I, Chingachgook, Last of Mohican."
"Hawkeye: Magua? I wonder what that weasel's doing here? Chingachgook: Him scout for Yank-gees. Mohawks take him in tribe - make him blood brother. Hawkeye: Mohawk? He was born a Huron. I bet a rifle against a powder horn he's still a Huron."
