This video is TREMENDOUS! THANK you, Mr. March and Mr. Strohmaier, for producing and posting this. "How the West Was Won" has always been one of my favorite films. I was a little boy when I first saw it in three-strip Cinerama with my family in 1963 and have subsequently seen it throughout the decades more times than I can count, including numerous times at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. You both did such a marvelous job of documenting what was and what is. Landscapes that rarely change along with haunting ghost-like memories of a great film and a Hollywood that is no more. As I approach my senior years, it brought a tear to my eye.

I live in southern Illinois and remember all the "Movie People" at Cave in Rock. I got to see Jimmy Stewart and Walter Brennan. We were all excited to see Walter Brennan because of "The Real McCoys". I was 7 years old. I'll be 65 in August. You did a great job with this video.

Like a lost civilization. I met Bob Morgan who had been injured in that train accident. Yvonne De Carlo's husband. This was about 1964/65. What I remember was his face seemed red and a scar or protrusion on his forehead. Thanks for the video. My son and I used to camp at the campground near 1:13 :)

Gracias por realizar este video. "La Conquista del Oeste", para mi, es una gran película; además figura entre las más interesantes de la historia del cine porque, en una sóla película, se muestran todos o casi todos los temas típicos del western y por ser la primera filmada en formato "Cinerama".

I''m so glad that a high quality blu-ray was made of HTWWW, where the lines between the 3 film strips was almost perfectly matched. I think I saw it about 5 times in different Cinerama theaters. The best screening was at the Chicago McVickers theater. It is still one of the most amazing movie events - ever! Kudos on this video.

In that era, these epic movies starred everyone that was anyone all at the same time. Going to see a movie then was an event. You wore nice clothes, got there early to hear the live organ player just off stage. The huge red velvet curtains opened to this movie filmed in wide screen and speakers surrounding the audience. The sound was everywhere. You sat in comfy red velvet seats in a huge ornate gold relief theatre with balcony and box seats. An intermission came on for all to refill at the snack bar and hit the can. As the movies ended, the red curtains would slowly shut and the live organ commenced. The organ was the last thing you heard as you trudged up the red carpet incline to the exit doors to the lobby.

I made 10 visits /its biiig!) starting in 1980,(mainly to see Monument Valley). I wrote in the MV visitors book 'a boyhood ambition fulfilled'. from Tucson in the south to Jackson Hole WY. iun the north, it never disappointed, with all its national parks, pacific coastline. great country, great people.
