Mohawk is a 1939 historical Technicolor film based upon a 1936 novel of
the same name by American author, Walter D. Edmonds. The film was
produced by Darryl F. Zanuck and directed by John Ford. Henry Fonda and
Claudette Colbert portray settlers on the New York frontier during the
American Revolution. The couple suffer British, Tory, and Indian attacks
on their farm before the Revolution ends and peace is restored. The
film-Ford's first colour feature-was well received, was nominated for
two Academy Awards and became a major box office success, grossing over
US$1 million in its first year.
