John Huston’s The Unforgiven deals, in much the same way that John Ford’s masterpiece The Searchers does, with racial prejudice. Both films are thoughtful, compelling attempts at exploring this hot-button topic through the western genre, and while Ford’s opus is likely considered the finer achievement, Huston’s film is undoubtedly worthy of serious consideration, especially since its reputation, even with a sterling cast of noteworthy actors, has rather faded over time while Ford’s movie has grown ever higher in the estimation of the critics and public. The Unforgiven will be for many an undiscovered gem.
