 The Unconquered November 8, 2007

I was delighted with this DVD. The color is magnificent; the picture is clear, the sound is clear. I've very pleased with it.
Cecil B. DeMille's "Unconquered" November 2, 2007

This is probably my all-time favorite movie. I had been waiting for it to come out on dvd and ordered it soon after it's release in May 2007.
The video is excellent quality, with an excellent story line set during the Conspiracy of Pontiac of the 1760's colonial America. Epic director DeMille cast well-known actors Gary Cooper, Paulette Goddard, Howard DaSilva, Boris Karloff (as an Indian chief), and Ward Bond.
If you enjoyed Daniel Day Lewis' version of "The Last of the Mohicians,"
you will enjoy "Unconquered."
They Don't Make 'em Like This Any More October 11, 2007
I hadn't seen it in a while but it was every bit as good as I remembered.
My wife hadn't seen it before but she loved it too.
The quality was perfect and I was very pleased with your service.

This is definitely Gary Cooper at his finest. I have watched this movie many times, and I still enjoy it. It is a classic from the get go. Even Paulette Goddard is appealing in it as the damsel in distress playing it to the hilt. Definitely a keeper in my library. I recommand this to anyone who loves 'oldie but goodie' movies that are entertaining and not shocking to ones sensitivities on moralities. It's up there in the classics.

This is an old-fashioned Western (although the West was a lot further East than in the classic genre!). The cast includes some stars near the end of their careers--Paulette Goddard (as the indentured servant Abby Hale) and Gary Cooper (as Captain Chris Holden), and others of varying degrees of fame (Boris Karloff as an Indian Chief, Howard DaSilva as the villain Garth, Catherine DeMille as Karloff's daughter--married to Garth, and so on. Many solid character actors show up throughout. It's fun to watch out for them and recognize them.
The story begins with Holden freeing Hale after having bought her from Garth (who, upon arriving in western Pennsylvania, returns her to servitude; something of a churl, one might say!). Later, Captain Holden heads west on a mission of peace, to try to stop the violence between Indians and settlers.
He and Hale come together again, go through a series of adventures, and recognize the valor of the settlers. In a well constructed rescue mission, Holden saves the fort from certain destruction at the hands of the Indians by a ruse that is clever--and emotionally touching.
And, of course, the denouement where Garth and cronies get theirs.
Cecil B. DeMille made this movie for a lot of money for the time--$5 million. It's a rollicking adventure story and still fun to watch. Obviously, cinematic values have changed, and this has an old-fashioned look to it. It also features stereotypical views of native Americans. All in all, though, an enjoyable experience.
