Following earlier attempts to bring his novels to the screen, films adapted from May’s work found their greatest success in the 1960s. Seven of them were produced by Artur Brauner at CCC Film, all starring Lex Barker and directed by veteran filmmakers Robert Siodmak, Hugo Fregonese, Franz Josef Gottlieb and Harald Reinl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOld Shatterhand \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eWinnetou and Shatterhand in the Valley of Death\u003c\/em\u003e both feature May’s most beloved
