Absolutely stunning Blu-ray presentation.
Finally, they've managed to splice the three parts of the picture into a seamless whole. Both the sound (Dolby True HD) and picture (1080/24p) are incredible! Buy, buy, BUY this wonderful edition!

great remastering job on a great film...........
Forget all the discussion about poor picture quality. That may legitimately apply to earlier versions of this film. But this remastered edition, just screened on the encore western Channel, is superb. Glorious color, great sound and the joining of the three camera angles all but totally erased. Job well done on a movie that warranted the effort. Buy with confidence but be advised there is a severe letterbox effect because of how wide the CINERAMA picture extends.

Can't wait for this classic in BR
This movie made a lasting impression on me as a boy In Houston at the Cinerama theater on Richmond Ave. Peck, Stewart, Reynolds, Widmark, Peppard (underrated) and narration by none other than Spencer Tracy.

I also saw 2001 and Grand Prix (racing classic) in this format. I suppose
Imax is the closet you'll get these days to the "effect."

How the west was WOW!
Done on grand scale in both production and star power and harnessed by no
less than three legendary directors the 1962 How the west was won gets in
on the remastered bandwagon and not a moment too soon for adventure fans.
I was blessed in getting this Ultimate Collector's edition in August from my
trusty neighborhood outlet in midtown Manhattan and for anyone is a fan or
has the pleasure of seeing it for the first time are in for a treat. The new
edition was well the wait. This nicely put together 3-disc set is vastly an
improvement over previous releases I'm not a "tech head" but I do know when an effort has been put into restoring film and enhancing sound as in this
release. The film is split by two disc and the third disc is that of a bonus
film "Cinerama Adventure" which showcases an informative history of the good
old short lived process that added to the adventure of movie going.
Extras also include a reprint of The Cinerama pressbook 10 photo stills and 10 behind the scene shots and 20 page general release booklet.
all in all a grand package to a grand film that deserves no less.

Amazon does this with all films
For those pointing out the reviews of older DVD versions of HWWW being here and much inappropriate, this is ,in my long Amazon experience, normal. Every time I look up a film and read the reviews (if more than one version has been put out) it is pretty much always easy to see the reviews are for all the versions - not just the one specifically listed. Good reviewers might want to be sure to note releasing company and release date in their review to help avoid this problem.

Would, though help if Amazon would simply attach only the reviews of a specific release page to that page and not move them to any other release page - but maybe it's more than their computers/program operators can handle.
