Der Kaiser Von Kalifornien
''Der Kaiser von Kalifornien'' (English: ''The Emperor of California''), is a 1936 film that was the first western film made in Nazi Germany. Some exterior scenes were shot on location in the United States at Sedona, Arizona, the Grand Canyon and at Death Valley in California. Plot The film follows the life story of Johann Augustus Sutter, the owner of Sutter's Mill, famous as the birthplace of the great California Gold Rush of 1849. However much of the story re-writes the actual history of Sutter. While the basic story of Sutter's life is retained, the producers inserted some notable changes reflecting the political environment of the film's creation: though Sutter was a Swiss-German, the film emphasizes his German ethnicity, and though he changed his name to John when he came to the United States, throughout the film he retains the name Johann. The film opposes the "easy" money of gold-digging with the wealth and values created by hard work, as the gold rush eventually dest ...
