To note that everything about How the West Was Won is big -- from its setting to its all-star cast to its Cinerama presentation -- is to issue an understatement.

Despite the amusement of the vast collection of stars and the whirlwind of Western adventure, it will surely be the score that persists beyond the other individual elements of this grandiose endeavor.

How the West Was Won is a star-studded Western with an impressive level of filmmaking on an epic scale.

1679192396000FULL REVIEWEsquire MagazineDwight MacDonald

A buffalo stampede and a raft caught in some terrifying rapids did make their point to my more primitive nerve centers, but the rest was the old stuff directed and acted by the old-stuffers and on a level considerably below their best performances.

In all the gargantuousness, however there are redeemable moments, especially in Ford's oddly scaled Civil War episode.

It really is true to say they don't make them like this any more.

Here, then, is a film with apparently something for everyone. Certainly its team of four ace cameramen have provided a full quota of visual splendours and the rich colour definition in the long shots communicates an authentic thrill of pleasure.

Delivered big with breathtaking location work and an all-star cast...

A story as big, as brash, and as exciting as the west itself.

There is no denying the spectacle, the adventure, and the romance in How the West Was Won.
