It isn't the most convincing Western to address Native American prejudice, but "The Unforgiven" is a good try.

Imperfect western by John Huston that tries to tackle White-Indian relations head on, much like how John Ford did with The Searchers before. Except it is more overly dramatic than it wants to admit. Burt Lancaster isn't bad neither are veteran actors Lillian Gish and Charles Bickford. Audie Murphy is in a rare unpleasant role but he's solid. Audrey Hepburn has the daintiness and naivete down pat. But she has no chemistry with Lancaster. By the third act, the movie decides that it's a home invasion movie except with Indians and all the emphasis on the message kind of goes out the window.

Audrey Hepburn is too old for her character and it's a little weird. But it's not a bad movie and Lillian Gish is good as well.

The Unforgiven review

Daniel Corleone - wrote on 05/04/2013

Mattilda (Lillian Gish) protects Rachel (Audrey Hepburn) and is reunited with Ben (Burt Lancaster). Brothers Cash (Audie Murphy) and Andy (Doug McClure) get emotional after an Indian attacks their home. Indians think Rachel is one of their own while Ben explains that their father was killed by the Kiowa tribe. Charlie asks permission from Ben to court Rachel but was murdered by Indians. "Don't grow up too fast." - Ben. One thing baffling was Rachel not finding out her real color at light, couldn't have she found out when dressing up or taking a bath. Other than that, the score, acting and locations were splendid. The Unforgiven proves family is indeed more significant than any wealth despite the rumors, racism, death, acceptance and finding out the truth.
