The Unconquered

[TDM]

This movie may have been mentioned before but it’s new to me. It’s the 1947 Cecile B. DeMille movie starring Gary Cooper set in the Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio territories just prior to the French & Indian War. Very well done and beautiful flintlocks!

Thank you gentlemen. I had it confused with “The Undefeated”.

I saw it on the big screen when I was about 4 years old. It marked me forever.

Thumbing through a magazine while getting an oil change. It said in the mag that Gary Cooper carried the very same rifle in this movie that John Wayne did in "Allegheny Uprising" and then again in the "Alamo". I think it also listed Charleton Heston or Fred McMurray carrying it in "Far Horizons". I could possibly be mistaken but that's what I think it said.

Sight correction, TDM: It was set on th eve of Pontiac's War, 1763. I watched it today and really liked it, but it helped tp know the historical context and the personnel (e,g., Eucayer, Bouquet, Wm. Johnson) involved + the Indian tribes as well.

Thank you gentlemen. I had it confused with “The Undefeated”.

When I put the red feather in my hatband, this was the intent:

Did I succeed?

Does your uniform look like it just came from the cleaners too?

Does your uniform look like it just came from the cleaners too?

Well, yes, it does....
I just don't wear it enough to look like it's been through some campaigns.
And I've served on cannon crews, too, but I guess I just don't get too dirty.
I can still hear my Mom telling me, "Don't get dirty!"

But Hollywood has no excuse!
In new movies nowadays, I marvel at the authenticity of the dirty clothes...
I'm glad we don't have Smellovision!

When you can get twenty shots from your revolver, and that revolver eight years before it was invented, where would you find dirt brave enough to land on that uniform

I've recreated the leather frock Gary wore in that film a couple of times the Mrs. did the bead work for the cape, they didn't last long on the trade blanket.
