  • Description

    CD2 set featuring the complete soundtrack + 1 bonus track, contains rare photos, memorabilia, and the original as well as updated liner notes.

    This set presents the complete original Alfred Newman soundtrack music to the 1962 epic-western film How the West Was Won, one of the last "old-fashioned" epic movies made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to enjoy great success. Set between 1839 and 1889, it follows four generations of a family as they move ever westward, from New York state to the Pacific Ocean. Divided into three sections, Henry Hathaway, John Ford, and George Marshall directed the film.

    Filmed in the curved-screen three-projector Cinerama process, it stared Carroll Baker, Lee J. Cobb, Henry Fonda, Carolyn Jones, Karl Malden, Gregory Peck, George Peppard, Robert Preston, Debbie Reynolds, James Stewart, Eli Wallach, John Wayne, and Richard Widmark, with narration by Spencer Tracy.

    The score was listed at #25 on AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores. In 1997, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant." The film won three Academy Awards for Best Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Sound.
