The Unconquered (1947)

182. The Unconquered (1947) - a surprisingly good movie directed by DeMille starring Goddard and Gary Cooper. Follows Goddard as she goes from London to the American frontier, then Western Pennsylvania. A little long and sluggish at times, but still above average. The critics called it the "Perils of Paulette" since she's threatened with rape, torture, execution, and slavery. The story brings up the forgotten fact that whites were brought to North America as indentured servants (Slaves). Also does a good job on costumes , muskets, etc. from the time period - 1760. Rating **1/2
