  How the West Was Won (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
How the West Was Won is an epic 1962 western film which follows several generations of a family (starting as the Prescotts) as they move ever Westwards, from western New York state to the Pacific Ocean.
The movie was written by John Gay (uncredited) and James R. Webb and directed by John Ford (segment "The Civil War"), Henry Hathaway (segments "The Rivers", "The Plains" and "The Outlaws"), George Marshall (segment "The Railroad") and Richard Thorpe (uncredited) (transitional historical sequences).
How the West was Won is one of only two feature films (the other being The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm) made using the three-strip Cinerama process, and suffers from that process's technical shortcomings.

Often regarded as one of the most grandiose undertakings in Hollywood’s history, How The West Was Won has a huge cast, three directors and was presented in a format known as Cinerama.
The scope of the film is enormous, starting with the early mid-West pioneering days, and including the California gold rush, the Civil War, the construction of the transcontinental railroad, and finally how law and order was established in the far West.
One of the real drawcards of How The West Was Won is the stellar cast that was assembled for the project.

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.
The DVD presents the film in its Cinerama aspect ratio of 2.65:1 and also includes a "making of" documentary and the original theatrical trailer.
