How the West Was Won (Special Edition) [DVD]

wonderful example of how we came to live in this great country and should be thankful everyday that we were born here

Really good movie.Lots of very good actors/actress. Gives a good look at how our country grew and the challenges pioneers faced. Touched lightly but included the horror of civil war.The resolved to bring law and order to the country.Also that resilience, hard work were the values of our country.

I saw this movie at the theater in its original Cinerama format. I loved all the actors as were mostly all my favorites. Loved the way the story followed the Prescott family over the years and generations. The stories were great in how they fit into all the historical events of settling the West.

Maybe you’ve never heard of Cinerama, but it’s a technology that was at the forefront of all widescreen exhibition which is standard today, even on our TVs at home. This is one of the best movies ever shot in Cinerama format, and includes a wonderful documentary ”Cinerama Adventure” that explores this topic!

I Got this for my parents to watch so they could see it like it should be. It's a great presentation with great VQ and the set is loaded with extras, taking you down an historical memory lane of how movies were presented back in the day. The movie itself is great, so that's a plus as well.
