About this product

Product Information

Hollywood's most celebrated luminaries--behind the camera as well as in front of it--combined talents to present this epic tale of the development of the American West from the 1830s through the Civil War to the end of the century, as seen through the eyes of one pioneer family. The film, divided into three chapters--"The Civil War" (directed by John Ford), "The Railroad" (directed by George Marshall), and "The River, the Plains, the Outlaws" (directed by Henry Hathaway)--tells the story of the Prescotts, a spirited group of easterners who make a declaration to migrate west. When their parents are lost in a tragic river accident, Eve (Carroll Baker) and Lilith (Debbie Reynolds) go their separate ways. Eve remains on the land that took her parents, settling down with the well-intentioned Linus Rawlings (James Stewart), while Lilith becomes a singer who is courted by the conniving Cleve Van Valen (Gregory Peck) when he learns that she has inherited a fortune in California. As time passes and the Civil War takes the life of Linus, the newest generation of Prescott offspring struggles with even greater danger and loss, in the form of fierce Indians as well as family archrivals. Top-notch production values and an endless string of solid performances have earned HOW THE WEST WAS WON the well-deserved label as one of Hollywood's most revered classics.

    ReMaster Production Problems-Affects Special Edition's

    Great in the theaters; original Cine-A-Rama was great ! All Star Cast was wonderful ! Special Collectors Edition did not make the grade. I purchased 2 : 1) Collector's 2) Ultimate Collector's... Both have the same problem...Disk 1 plays beautifully Disk 2 is where the problem comes in; Part of the movie part 2 goes black, other parts freeze, hangs and jumps missing half of the second half of the movie. I do not recommend either of these versions of the movie. I have now purchased the single disk version in the 1998 release and after it's arrival will review and write a review to report the value and quality. Hope this helps any one interested in owning or seeing this wonderful movie of Historical value as well as lovers of westerns. Great family viewing...

  • How the west was won DVD set.

    The picture was clear, but very small do to the space they used for sub-titles and you have to turn them off each time you play the disk.

  • Three Screens Look Like One

    I had not seen this movie in many years and they did a great job combining the three screens. The last time I saw this on TV, probably 10 or so years ago, it was almost unwatchable. I remember seeing this at the drive in when I was 8 or 9, the only other movie I really remember from those days was Ben Hur. Great Movie

  • Star-studded epic that's short on story....

    Star-studded epic that's short on story. Cinerama wide-angle lens ineffective on a flat screen.

    Just from the cast that was used. The first time I saw the movie it was on a special screen.
