As anybody who has followed the Time Searchers can tell you, we like films. Especially ones that deal with a historical topic. Here, we have the Paramount Pictures film, the Unconquered starring Gary Cooper and Pualette Goddard. The appeal of this film is that it is set in Western Pennsylvania. In the mid to late 1700's, western Pennsylvania was the Wild West of North America. The Unconquered gives a glimpse (a hollywood one) into the indentured servant system the British had along with the Military and Political situation in the North America at the time. The fun thing about these films is that we can imagine what it must have been like in those times and how we would fit into that era. In the film, I can imagine the Colonial Relic Hunter standing next to Gary Cooper's character fighting off the henchmen of the villain of the film (Martin Garth, played by Howard Da Silva) while I offered my protection to Abby Hale (Paulette Goddard). Yes, I know, Colonial Relic Hunter, I do usually leave the heavy lifting to you. Anyway, the film brings the colonial era alive and it is great viewing even if it is not completely historically accurate.-The Time Searcher. Here's a link to the film:
