Carlos is a 1971 West German Western television film, which has transplanted the story of Friedrich Schiller's play Don Carlos from 16th century Spain to a 1915 American Western style environment. According to some, the setting should be somewhere in southern Europe,[1][2] while others claim it is somewhere in the southwestern United States.[3][4] Due to complicated contracts and shooting problems, it never had the theatrical release that was intended, and was instead shown on German TV.
