If nothing else, this film provides a good opportunity to study how to create the impression of a three-dimensional space in front of the camera through mise-en-scène, as well as how to mask production limitations through it. Shots of military camps with soldiers arranged in angled lines and houses spread out with slightly curved corners, always showing at least two sides, reference points at different distances from each other - all of that is an art that is not a given even now, as seen in current two-dimensional green screen sets where isolated actors stand in front. Some of you may be interested in the theory of how this film is unusually bold for its time. "Prim and proper in her demeanor, she is actually seized by virginal longings, consumed with sexual desire for her Indian guide-protector Uncas (Alan Roscoe). At a time when women in movies were supposed to be mere wilting violets, this explicit sexual frankness must have been an astonishment, and was in truth quite revolutionary. Looking into Miss Bedford’s sly animal eyes, looking at the movement of her mouth, we are already aware of the director’s sophisticated understanding of the medium’s potential for sexual expression."
