Unconquered's Blu-ray release by Kino Lorber, presented in 1080p MPEG-4 AVC encoded HD in its original 1.36:1 aspect ratio, offers a solid, sharp picture with excellent color reproduction, minimal print damage, and organic film grain, effectively capturing the three-strip Technicolor glory.

Audio: 83

The Blu-ray of 'Unconquered' delivers a crisp and engaging audio experience in DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mono, preserving dialogue clarity and Victor Young's score with minimal distortion, offering the film's best sounding home video incarnation yet.

Extra: 56

The Blu-ray of 'Unconquered' features a comprehensive audio commentary by film critic Nick Pinkerton, who delves into the cast, crew, and historical inaccuracies in the film; however, it lacks Robert Osborne’s introduction present in prior DVD releases and includes a rich array of trailers for classic Kino Lorber films.

Movie: 66

Unconquered is a lavish Cecil B. DeMille spectacle, boasting vibrant Technicolor cinematography by Ray Rennahan and superb art direction by Hans Dreier, though marred by clichéd scripting and a lengthy runtime. Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard deliver strong performances, making it an entertaining albeit lower-tier DeMille outing.
