It's my all time favorite movie. Sadly there are plenty of people who do hate it unfortunately. They say it glorifies the genocide of Native Americans and that it should be called "How the West Was Stolen." When will they ever grow up? This film is a timeless masterpiece.
This is one of my favorite movies, and this is one of my favorite scenes. I especially like the part where the captain comes and sits down next to Aggie, who had obviously just about given up. One sees that, and sees that they are about the same age. They could be really good companions for each other in their remaining years.
This is one awesome movie.I'm a proud Aussie but I love your west. I first saw this movie in 1963 and l saw it the way it was meant to be seen in Cinerama. It remains one of my favourite movies. So many lasting memories. To this day nearly 60 years later I still tear up watching it. The main title theme is one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard. I love this scene where Debbie sings Home in the Meadow and both she and Aggie get their fella. Even in this modern age of movies this one still stands up
I’m an Aussie too and I love it. I’d take the original true grit and magnificent seven over the remakes any day as well. As loud and patriotic as Americans used to be, I kinda miss that about them…
Me too. It still makes me tear up. I also saw it in Detroit in Cinerama. It’s a memory with me to this day. I’m not enamored of the west but I love the hope in the American dream. I only wish we had lifted the natives not crushed them. History too often repeated.
R.I.P. Debbie (1932-2016). I was so fortunate to meet her briefly at an autograph show several years ago. Gracious, kind and smiling. And a damn good performer.
I always wanted to meet her. She came to Reedsburg Wisconsin sometime in the 50s to meet Agnes and Molly Moorhead. They stopped by my grandfather's home dr. John Booher. I grew up in that house always wondering what that conversation must have been like. Molly made the drapes for the house. Frank Lloyd Wright architecture
At that time, Debbie was 29 years old, and she had to play a girl in her teens until an old women in her 80's- And she did it beautifully !!!!- She said this was her own fav role and I agree with her- She was splendid in her acting & songs-
I am older now than I once was, as are we all. In life I have made many mistakes some were my own fault while others in accordance to my nature. Either way I now find myself alone and it is highly unlikely I will ever again hear a beautiful girl say 'I love you'. Then after many years I find this little gem and it under pins the value of great art. When I look at this, with all the contributing effects of actors, music, lighting etc, I get a sense of hope, that even at my age all may not be lost. It may be imagination and even illusory but the effect is real. it is life affirming and I am grateful.
Beautifully said, sir, and I can relate. I'm older and have made some big mistakes. Especially when I married a cruel man 20 years ago who never loved me, but he sure enjoyed spending my inheritance. When it ran out, he ran out and left me after 15 years of marriage and moved in with his side chick. I've only been on one date in the last 5 years, so I feel like I'll never have another romance. When the very handsome Gregory Peck kissed gorgeous Debbie, I felt a bit sad because no one will ever kiss me like that again and it's been 30 years or more since anyone has. Oh well, at least my dog loves me!
I am sorry for what happened. Good or bad, right or wrong life is not there to be explained or even justified. It is to be experienced and that is all any of us can do. Experience it and move on. The hard part is not be able to 'get even' with those who offend us. The imbalance can cause more grief and bitterness than the original offence.
@@LazyIRanch When my first marriage ended, I too went five years as more or less a loner...eventually left America to teach in China and stumbled upon a Filipino woman with whom I wrote to for a year...we finally met for three days and on the second day I proposed marriage. We have been married for what will be 10 years, this December. Some ups and downs but we are now so attuned to each other we cannot imagine life apart....you just can't know what life has in store for you...all is timing and your time will come.
@@sebastiansaville2043 You understand that there are people you have hurt, right? And they probably feel just as bad that they can't get even with you! Better things to do....don't you think?
Getting even does not bring back what was lost. It only gives one a temporary, passing satisfaction which when gone leaves one in even darker depths because he did not try to find betterment in his life and pursued only the fleeting satisfaction of revenge, which has now come and gone. Forget revenge. Learn from bad experiences. If you punish someone, only do it to prevent, not to avenge, for it makes nothing better.
My thoughts on how the West was won is this movie is the perfect classic movie in the 60s and I all of the incredible actors who were in this movie (including John Wayne and James Stewart gaveit their best shot. one thing I like the song a home in the meadow it reminds us that we have a home in the meadow.
I love this movie! I grew up with this movie! Every time I watch this movie I start crying! All that wonderfull actors, all my dreams, my hopes, all I always wanted to be, that I wanted men to be, how i wanted women to be, how i wanted life to be, how i wanted to be! Now I am a 44 year old man with two children and still hoping to be like this, and I did my duty! This is it, this is for me everything, this is for me America!
Me too. At the Windsor Theatre in Houston. It had "sensor-round" and the "velvet" chairs vibrated from the sound. It was a fancy movie theatre. Quite a big deal. Going to see that movie.
This might be my favorite scene in the movie. Cleve is so eager to see Lillith again that he sacrifices his winning hand, and Aggie finally meets a man.
I always loved that movie, as a child i always watched it when it was on TV. I miss these times, the best time in my life, thank you Debbie, thank you Jimmy, thank you Gregory you made my days! It hits me everytime!
Carrie was wonderful as Princess Leia but it is her Mom I remember more...from this role...singing this song. Bewitching. Now she & Gregory Peck are both gone. Sigh.
@@ThePoreproductions And probably just about everyone else in this movie. Gregory Peck is one of the most handsome men ever, IMO. I adore Debbie Reynolds, but I admit feeling a tiny bit jealous when he kissed her passionately! If I were her, I would have been telling the director, "I don't think that was quite good enough, we need to do it again!"
Upon seeing this movie at the Hollywood Cinerama Dome in 1962, I fell madly in love with four things: movies, music, the American West, and Debbie Reynolds- loves which have never waned to this day.
What I will always remember about this movie and this song as she sings it to her nephew Jeb and his wife and children with the Arizona desert for a back drop.
quel film! quelle prestation ! je n'ai jamais oublié cette chanson, ça me rattache à mon enfance lorsque je regardais avec mes parents les films le soir à la télé...merci Mrs Debbie Reynolds! vous étiez splendide!! RIP vous et votre fille !!
Since Debbie and her amazing daughter passed a few years ago, I have watched more of Debbie Reynold's work to get to know more about her. I've become a huge fan of this gorgeous, talented lady. I need to watch this movie again, haven't seen it in over 40 years now. I recall there's a scene somewhere in this movie that shows an old cast iron bedstead, and it's identical to the one I sleep on. It belonged to my grandparents who got married @ 1910, but it was second-hand then. We figured it to be about 140 years old. The wooden slats were hand-planed by my great-grandfather who built fine furniture and homes back in the old West when he was a homesteader in S. Texas. My great-grandfather's cousin was killed by Comanches in the late 1800s, and I had the chance to talk to the murdered man's son in the 1970s when I was a teen and he was in his nineties. He was a small boy when his father was killed and their cabin burned by Comanches, but he still remembered what he saw. He was adopted by my great-grandparents who raised him with their 11 other kids. It's incredible how this era was not all that long ago, really, or maybe I'm just old AF.
I watched this film years ago, after travelling in the USA, I have wondered whatever happened to the Americans spirit of adventure, everything is so safe there now, you can do trips all over the US, but now its in converted school buses, everything is fenced off, private land, I would like to do a trip, just like these pioneers, I have been all over the world, only place that doesn't have fences, borders is Australia, what a wonderful land
That's why after I went insane, I moved to mountain wilderness where I live off-grid on solar (no electric bill for 14 years now!) on 20 acres with my dog, 2 cats, chickens, and a snarky parrot. I've gone weeks without seeing another human out here. A couple of years ago, my road washed out completely and it was 6 weeks before it was fixed well enough for me to drive to town. Only an idiot would live here, it's very dangerous because of wildfires, earthquake, rattlesnakes (I make hatbands out of the ones I kill), and the occasional meth-head looking to steal shit. Used to be a minimum security prison near here, and an escapee tried to steal my horse until my dog got ahold of his leg (he required stitches before they locked him up again. I even met a mountain lion face to face once. My nearest neighbor is a mile away, and my mailbox is 3 miles away on the paved road. I only go to town once a week for supplies. I keep at least 3 months of food on hand along with other necessities, so guess who didn't have to do any panic buying when the quarantine was imposed? I didn't even run out of TP! I didn't have to change much of anything for the lockdown. I feel pretty confident that I can keep from getting the virus since I have no one but my son around me. He's 28, but he hasn't been out of the house at all since March. He has schizophrenia but he's a gentle, kind person. I jokingly call him "Boo Radley". I have no fences, and I let my goats out of their pens in the morning so they can go out all day and eat the brush and weeds. They come back in the evenings. I survived the last major fire here because of them. I've never been to Australia, but my dad lived there for 2 years during mid-1960s. He was a microwave electrical engineer during the early days of Pine Gap, near Alice Springs. We almost moved there when Dad was offered a really good job, but Mom didn't want to. I was so disappointed, I would have loved it there with all those fascinating animals, minerals, and plants. My place here on the mountain is similar to Australian terrain, about as close as it gets for USA anyhow. Here's my "backyard" and my wonderful "fire-fighting crew", and the banner on my channel page is the view from my front porch. I'm really isolated out here... ruclips.net/video/ledQ1TGn3aY/видео.html
@@LazyIRanch What a great life, I do like your goats, big and small, I live in West London, its not bad, lived here since 53, apart from my time in the forces Life round here has changed, its a league of nations now, everyone I knew and grew up with ha either died or moved away, I scarcely know anyone now, no one speaks to you, no one says hello, good morning I never got involved in panic buying TP, I use a water bum wash (ever since I saw and tried it in Egypt) I stopped my travelling 2-3 years ago now, but I saw lots of places, met lots of people I'd like to move to somewhere better, but everywhere is the same now in the UK, just too many snow flakes, people are just too easily offended now, plus I'm a bit too old to pull up roots now Looking at your video, you dont realise how much better off you are there, I wish I was a neighbour I did route 66, 2 years ago, a lot of it is still there, a lot of it has gone now, its a marvelous road to try and follow, we never used a freeway on our trip, stayed in $30 a night motels, we met poor people, rich people (I talk to everyone, these days) We did Nashville, New Orleans, Memphis, we just used a paper map, if we saw somewhere that sounded intersting or had a bit of history we went there, we were in no rush, it took us a month of just poodling around, its great getting lost
It's pure fantasy, a movie. It's not real, it's all made up but by God it's what makes life worth living. It may not happen to all of us but for those lucky enough to experience such moments they will never be forgotten. For the rest of us we have the movies and genuine or not the emotions they stir within us are very real. It's called hope and I'll take that over despair any day. RIP Debbie xxx
Just watched this movie again and it is easy to forget what a stunning looking woman Debbie Reynolds was. Easy to see where Carrie Fisher got her looks!
She's not gone it's just intermission. She'll be back. She may look differently and be called something else but it will be her and all the other Debbie's. It's called life and all the jihadists, feminists Madonnas and Mileys that come and go will be dust in the wind.
Well, we can debate the feminists, Madonnas and Mileys, but why don't you explain why Jon - Francis' post is "drivel" and "garbage". And does one put one's "drivel" out on the street for pick-up?
To understand what I meant is to understand the difference between what is true and what is truth. I'm not talking about agreement but basic understanding. If you truly have no concept then, in terms of your human development, I'd say you have a long way to go.
I first saw "How the West was Won" in Japan on a high school field trip to the largest cinema-screen theater I'd every been in. Great movie! I especially recall two scenes; one where the train engine appeared to be heading towards us and the bison stampede also headed toward the audience! Awesome movie!
I was 9 years old when I watched this movie, there is one scene that touched me very much: That is when George Peppard came back from war and found out that his mother (Carroll Baker) was no more. I couldn't prevent myself from crying..
I saw this movie in London when it was first released! The tune is actually 'Greensleeves', an English folksong made famous by Ralph Vaughan Williams, who used it in an opera and (more famously) his 'Fantasia on Greensleeves' for string orchestra. The tune is also used as a Christmas carol sometimes. But I guess you knew all that! :)
Colin the hole cast Carol Baker Thelma Ritter Jimmy Stuart John Wayne George papard Henry Morgan Eli Walter Brennan and many more that are all gone now Debbie was the last one living
the rancher sure wanted Debbie, told her so plain and simple. She sure was a fine little filly'' great scene when he heard her singing that ole lonesome wonderful song, like only she could. Quite a gal
Feel sorry for Gregory Peck’s character when he mentions San Francisco cuz decades later it becomes the country’s literally worst shit hole in the 21st century.
Following her daughter to take care of her :'( . . . Now both one with the force. One of my fave Epic Westerns and a song that gets to me since I was a kid seeing this on TV (I was born in 63).
This song by Debbie Reynolds is an anthem to the spirit of the American adventure.
❤👍
This film is a MASTERPIECE and makes me cry every time. Back when Hollywood actually liked America.
It's my all time favorite movie. Sadly there are plenty of people who do hate it unfortunately. They say it glorifies the genocide of Native Americans and that it should be called "How the West Was Stolen." When will they ever grow up? This film is a timeless masterpiece.
@@justinratcliffe947 Oh, for crying out loud. It does not. the Indians get their licks in and are portrayed sympathetically.

Yes that big 3D effect screen at the Plaza Cinema in Sydney. I think we saw it just after it open in 1963.

@@boleslawlukaszczyk7619 HA HA, Debbie Reynolds was a NATURAL beauty. she did not need any make up artist!!
@@johnjarou2357 I think she might have needed some make up to look like an old lady. Hence the previous commentor's compliment.
They did a splendid job both with her and with George peppard, making look such vastly different ages through the movie.

My favorite story arc in HTWWW was always that of Linus Rawlings & family(James Stewart), and this is such a capper to part of that narrative. ❤😎👍
This might be my favorite scene in the movie. Cleve is so eager to see Lillith again that he sacrifices his winning hand, and Aggie finally meets a man.

That was fun but Home in the Meadow really bewitched me.
She was brilliant in How The West Was Won. Thank U Debbie! U R now in God's hands!

Not the story, not the dialogues, not even the tune, but the orchestration.

She's not gone it's just intermission. She'll be back. She may look differently and be called something else but it will be her and all the other Debbie's. It's called life and all the jihadists, feminists Madonnas and Mileys that come and go will be dust in the wind.
No. He is very sane, and poetic to boot. You, on the other hand, are visibly obtuse.
Well, we can debate the feminists, Madonnas and Mileys, but why don't you explain why Jon - Francis' post is "drivel" and "garbage". And does one put one's "drivel" out on the street for pick-up?
@@sonofizzy Just seen your post. Thanks mate.
To understand what I meant is to understand the difference between what is true and what is truth. I'm not talking about agreement but basic understanding. If you truly have no concept then, in terms of your human development, I'd say you have a long way to go.
@Sunny Quackers You'd be amazed how many "characters" you will find on this website including me...
After all Gregory Peck is great.
Saw this as a kid, always stuck in my brain, the song, come away with me.
my favorite song by her.
Beautiful song
I first saw "How the West was Won" in Japan on a high school field trip to the largest cinema-screen theater I'd every been in. Great movie! I especially recall two scenes; one where the train engine appeared to be heading towards us and the bison stampede also headed toward the audience! Awesome movie!
Simply Beautiful.
My first love.Debbie ..and l now live in a valley with a home l built is a place that were the wind blows free wild land.
I watched this movie with my elder brother at age 12years old
there were a lot of big names in this movie--but the whole 4 hr affair revolved around the wonderful performance of Debbie--RIP dear lady!
It was only 2 hours and 44 minutes (164 min.) but... if you've got an ADD problem, then it'd be hard to sit for that long. I loved every minute of it.
windstorm 1000. well said. I've always thought that too..
You're probably thinking of Gone With the Wind. Its 4 hrs long but HTWWW is between 2 1/2 and 3 hrs.
I know this film has an amazing cast but Debbie Reynolds should have gotten top billing. She really is the star of this movie.
This little melody is the spirit of the old american adventure
I saw this movie as a kid at the old Paramount Theatre on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx. That movie house was like a palace!
I think How the West Was Won, is the best movie of all time.
Beautiful movie
I was 9 years old when I watched this movie, there is one scene that touched me very much: That is when George Peppard came back from war and found out that his mother (Carroll Baker) was no more. I couldn't prevent myself from crying..
I wanted her to accept Robert Preston!!!!
I saw this movie in London when it was first released! The tune is actually 'Greensleeves', an English folksong made famous by Ralph Vaughan Williams, who used it in an opera and (more famously) his 'Fantasia on Greensleeves' for string orchestra. The tune is also used as a Christmas carol sometimes. But I guess you knew all that! :)
Colin the hole cast Carol Baker Thelma Ritter Jimmy Stuart John Wayne George papard Henry Morgan Eli Walter Brennan and many more that are all gone now Debbie was the last one living
Carroll Baker is still alive.
No, i did not. They for information.
When it first came out I saw it at the Drive- Ins with my family.
Preciosa película 💎
I will go to my grave loving this woman.
RIP Eli walach
debbie reynolds was quite the looker in this movie. pretty good acting too.
Perfect movie.
RIP Debbie 😢
Fellow QR fan :') Yes, rest in peace Debbie and take care of your little girl :'(.
RIP Debbie Reynolds
the rancher sure wanted Debbie, told her so plain and simple. She sure was a fine little filly'' great scene when he heard her singing that ole lonesome wonderful song, like only she could. Quite a gal
She certainly was, and how about Thelma Ritter's character?
I tried looking for this on youtube 8 months ago but I could not find it. It's my favorite scene from one of my top 5 favorite movies.
It beautiful
Un film, une musique, des acteurs, une histoire universelle loin, bien loin de la décadence actuelle. 🇨🇵🇺🇲
not ashamed to say I had a crush on Debbie Reynolds as a kid. cute as a button, she was.
この作品、この曲でデビー・レイノルズのファンになりました。
Spencer Tracey was the narrator and he did a really great job.
yeah....movies were once this good...
EIN GIGANTISCHER FILM
Feel sorry for Gregory Peck’s character when he mentions San Francisco cuz decades later it becomes the country’s literally worst shit hole in the 21st century.
Poor Robert Preston. He was really smitten with her.
This is such a beautiful rendition of this classic song: does anyone know if a complete recording exist anywhere, with Miss Reynolds singing it?
agreed. beautiful version of the song. i really think debbie reynolds "made" this movie. she was at her prime in looks here also.
Intermission?! When was the last tome you saw a 3 or 4 hour long film that a half time break?
greensleeves, very nostalgic !
Stuff that dreams are made of. Men & women went to the West to find fortune and themselves. I did and am still looking.

Κλαααααμααααααααααα παιδια μου
No videso can take in all the majesty of American history....This movies could have done better but to what aim?
the song is a very very old English well British song at least mention it!!!
Farooq Rabbani The tune is even older than the song, Italian renaissance
Instead of What Child is This What Virus is this
Whit the help of the devil.🤔🤔🤔
Following her daughter to take care of her :'( . . .
Now both one with the force. One of my fave Epic Westerns and a song that gets to me since I was a kid seeing this on TV (I was born in 63).
one with the force, yes--love this movie--Debbie a real star--natural charisma/talent
