Based on the 1957 novel by Alan Le May. <br/><br/>In many ways a reflection on John Ford's 1956 film "The Searchers" which was also based on an Alan Le May novel "The Unforgiven" tells the story of a woman taken from her Native American tribe and raised by a white family. She struggles with her allegiance towards her adoptive family and her feelings towards another white man and a bloody battle ensues between the two communities. An uncommon film for its time it highlights the racism Native Americans had to endure from settlers of the Old West. <br/><br/>A difficult shoot which included a severe back injury sustained by Audrey Hepburn when she fell off a horse director John Huston was unhappy with his producer's insistence on releasing a more commercially friendly film. While<br/>Hepburn and Huston would both eventually distance themselves from the film "The Unforgiven" remains a bold powerfully raw take on the Western with arguably some of the best performances of many of the actors involved. <br/><br/>20 x 25.5 inches.
