Unconquered DVD
An excellent movie with Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard. Funny seeing Boris Karloff as the Seneca chief. After several years trying to find this movie on DVD, it was fantastic to finally find it in this format. A definite must-buy for lovers of American history.

Where has this been hiding?
Being a fan of the "Oldies", my wife and I enjoyed viewing Cooper in a roll that one does not see him in all that often, in colonial times. The plot is fairly standard for the studios of that time. The pace is good, very little of the movie is wasted with unneccesary dialog. As a costumer, this one will delight "Oldie" fans and keep Cooper fans happy.

Enjoyed Every Bit As Much As I Did 50 Years Ago
I am guessing that the reviewer that didn't like this movie is pretty young or doesn't enjoy films from this golden era of Hollywood ( no offense intended ). Peronally, I love movies, especially the ones from the 30's and 40's when the studio system was in full swing. This movie has one of the great directors of all time C.B. De Mille and and some of the Great screen personalities of all time. Action, adventure, patriotism, a great story, a great director, Gary Cooper, Paulette Goddard AND Boris Karloff as the indian villan .... a great movie..... what more could you ask for ?

Ready when you are Cecil B...
I love these big, improbable, schmaltzy Cecil B DeMille spectaculars. He made them in BW or in color for almost every imaginable historical period from Biblical times through era of the emerging USA...with plotlines and characters that were almost interchangable, nothwithstanding the era...and everyone of them is about as entertaing a 2-3 hours as you could ask for.
Unconquered is a particularly entertaining entry in his oeuvre. It covers a period not often visited by Hollywood, pre-Revolutionary War America, and is loaded with a colorful cast of characters played by actors famous (Gary Cooper, Boris Karloff) and familiar but not so famous (Cecil Kellaway, Henry Wilcoxon, Mike Mazurki and the ever oily and improbable main villain, Howard de Silva). Best of all, Paulette Goddard, one of the most beautiful women ever to walk onto a movie set, and she is never lovelier than here.
You get all these great and near great actors, DeMille's always breathtaking color photography and an interesting and exciting story.
The characters are, of course, complretely stereotyped and the ending never in doubt, but with DeMille, that's never the point...it's the journey, not the arrival.
Ready when you are CB!!!

Only in a De Mille movie...
Only De Mille would have the audacity to put George Washington and a Slave Girl Bathing Scene in the same movie, but he managed. This is just pull out the stops old movie fun. It's not very realistic, wait until you hear Boris Karloff's accent as an American Indian, but it's De Mille Showmanship through and through. You'll have lots of fun watching this movie.
