Pure American mythologizing with some of the most stunning scenery shot in cinema history, filmed in the incredibly impractical format of CINERAMA. The first and last segments are the best, the climatic train fight in particular is shockingly good considering the format. It can be quite the slog, but there really isn't any other movie like this, so it's worth it for that. If you can, watch this in the Smilebox formating. How was the west won? I still have no idea, but probably with a lot more genocide than suggested here.
