5.0 out of 5 stars Restored at Last Without the Annoying Lines 3 Oct 2008
Format:DVD
What a fantastic print we now have of this film since the original cinerama has now been restored and the three joins of the original can no longer be seen. Finally the film can be seen in glorious depth and colour with both images in the foreground and background in crystal clarity.

A fantastic commentary is also added by filmmaker David Strohmaier, Director of Cinerama, Inc. John Sitting, Film Historian Rudy Behlemer, Music Historian Jon Burlingame and Stuntman Loren James which throws so much new light on the making of the movie.

For those who have never seen the film; sit back and enjoy.

For those who have seen the film many times on TV or video, and longed for the day.....welcome for the first time to "HOW THE WEST WAS WON" as it should be seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Print Quality 30 May 2009
Format:Blu-ray
This is 5 stars just for the print of this blu-ray edition- you cannot believe you are watching a 50 year old movie here-the scenery is obviously stunning and you will think you are actually there looking thru a window. Who cares that you're not getting the book that they're getting with the US edition- this is less than ten quid- you cannot complain about what you get for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars revelation 13 Feb 2009
Format:Blu-ray
I saw this film first fully about a year ago, prior to that on and off when i was young boy, on and off because its a long film and when you are young you lose interest. Anyway i got the blu ray version yesterday evening and sat down and watched the lot. The version i saw last year was grainy drab and suffered the cinarama effects of vertical lines dividing the picture in 3 portions. The new version in widescreen ( very wide , 2.86:1 i think ) is fantastic!! The picture is truly beautiful, some of the landscapes are breathtaking, the picture is sharper, brighter. Because the film is shot in such a wide format the picture is sometimes strange to watch, especially when an actor gets close to the camera, which is why i guess there are no close ups. My only slight reservation is that if you have a smaller hd ready set, because of the wide aspect ratio of the film it may be too small an image to truly appreciate the spectacle that is ... HOW THE WEST WAS WON .....
