Pretty, very pretty. Both ladies and scenery. But too. Long. From the minute James Stewart is no longer on the screen it just gets worse and worse. Depressing with such a cast. Eli Wallach, Henry Fonda, etc. are all very good, but are in the film for like 5-10 minutes each. Hell, Lee van Cleef isn't even credited and has no lines. The late John Ford really wasn't going anywhere.

Blu-Ray made it possible to watch it in the intended Cinerama depiction. Stunning and gripping movie! Not one second was it boring. An awesome image is hunted by the next. A feast for the eyes!

I have a very imperfect recall of this epic Western, which I saw many years ago.

good basic western but would have done better as a mini-series. too wide a story to fit into one movie. Loved the spencer tracy naration

Certainly interesting for the spectacle, the film suffers from cliche-ridden dialogue and some strange casting choices (Stweart as a mountain man and Fonda as a buffalo hunter). The music is fun though, there are some nice set pieces (train wreck, raft on the rapids, cheyenne attack), but only Ford's short Civil War segment offers any real depth of feeling. His segment is probably the most simply shot of the whole film, but that simplicity contributes to several engaging moments.

Far more interesting for its place in movie history (it's a Cinerama picture) than for the actual movie itself, which is cliched, boring, and barely worth the trouble of watching it.

Intended for a giant movie screen, this Cinerama epic looks bizarre on home video.

Behold: an experimental film that just happens to have a huge budget and an all-star cast. Not entirely successful but you have to actually see it in Cinerama somehow
