The first feature film to be photographed and projected in the panoramic three-camera Cinerama process, this epic Western is almost as expansive as the West itself, chronicling a pioneering family's triumphs and tragedies in numerous episodes spanning three generations and a half century of westward movement. Divided into five segments directed by veteran Hollywood filmmakers Henry Hathaway, George Marshall, and the legendary John Ford (and including uncredited sequences directed by Richard Thorpe), the film was one of the most ambitious ever made by the venerable MGM studio. Its stellar cast reads like a virtual who's who of Hollywood's biggest stars. Debbie Reynolds plays a sturdy survivor of many pioneering dangers, and the eventual widow of a gambler (Gregory Peck), who is later reunited with her nephew (George Peppard), a Civil War veteran and cavalryman who heads for San Francisco as the transcontinental railroad is being built. Many more characters and stories are woven throughout this epic film, which is dramatically uneven but totally engrossing with its stunning vistas and countless outdoor locations in Illinois, Kentucky, South Dakota, Monument Valley in Arizona, California, Colorado, and elsewhere. --Jeff Shannon

 How this film is meant to be seen!!! August 21, 2010
J-Man (Atlanta, GA USA)
This is a HUGE improvement over the original single-disc DVD release from several years ago. Those vertical lines on the original DVD bugged me. My only complaint about the current edition is that it doesn't include the excellent "making of" featurette that was on the first DVD. Because of that I've held on to my original DVD. I just bought a Blu-ray player recently, and "How The West Was Won" was one of the first Blu-Ray discs I bought. It looks splendid on my HDTV!!!
blu-ray review July 26, 2010
R. Stewart (Florida, USA)
I watched both versions. The smile version has a lot of pluses. But be careful when the scene pans rapidly as it is a bit disoreinting. The film is full of some beautiful scenery which are beautiful to watch.
There many rave reviews and some pans as to the content of the movie, the choice of actors, and plot. It is movie you will just have to decide for yourself wether you like it or not. As I love westerns and like many of the actors in the film, it is wonderfully just to watch to see them.
FANTASTIC! July 12, 2010
R. Siegel (Edina, MN United States)
The golden days of Hollywood widescreen epics, this is the cream of the crop. Warner has done a beautiful job of remastering this movie for Blu-ray and it should not be missed by any film fan. Aside from "South Pacific," this is one of the best Blu-rays of any classic yet made available.
How the West was Won. A real winner. May 31, 2010
Clarence B. Valerius (Utah)
I really enjoyed the movie again. However, the best part of this set is the special feature on the story of the Cinerama history and process.

The best transfer of How The West Was Won. The 3 panel matching lines are virtually not there and it is sharp as a tack. Brilliant compared to any earlier versions. The bonus features are great. This is the only way to see this great film. Thanks to MGM for the wonderful restoration and transfer of this cherished classic.
