Movie Review: How the West Was Won Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my dad(83), who can never get enough of westerns with plenty of action. This filled his bill nicely. It was wonderful to watch the old actors, many of who have passed on. I had seen it as a child on the big screen in 1963. It was made for the big screen and I wish we had watched it on a screen larger than the small TV. It begins with a family in Pennsylvania who are headed west and go down the Ohio River for Ohio/Indiana to new farm land. Then the venue changes to the Civil War, The railroad, and finally the opening and settling of the Arizona Territory. This movie has it all in about 3 hours of rapids, knife fights, gun fights, blood, horses, dancing girls on river boats, gambling, a wagon train, and shoot outs with outlaws and Rangers. The music was fabulous, as was the directors (3 of them) in this amazing feat of a film. I spent the end of 2007 watching this with Dad. Happy New Year 2008!Movie Review: Many thanks

A classic production, great stars, introduction of cinemascope. Good viewing on widescreen hd tv's although this is not an hd movie. Recommended for all ages.Movie Review: Best Movie on less than best disk
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the best historical-fiction movie about the U.S. that has ever been made. All I can say about this disk, however, is that it will send you searching for a Cinerama presentation (the way I saw it when it first came out). I only found one surviving Cinerama theatre showing this movie and, so far, not when I could go see it. Seeing it via this disk is a thousand times better than not seeing it all, however. This film is that great.Movie Review: HOW THE WEST WAS WON
Summary: 4 Stars
One of only two movies actually done in the original CINERAMA format. Disappointed it did not capture the Cinerama effects. Even on a front projection 120 inch it didn't look any different that today's widescreen movies.
btw, the other original CINERAMA movie [Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimn] DOES project the effects - at least on VHS.
google Cinerama for the facts.
