I seen How the West was won on Tuesday, July 7,1964 at the Atco Drive In on White Horse Pike(U.S. 30). The movie was great & is one of my most favorite movies.
Thanks. It may have been the opening mountain shots that were taken from the short? Odd. Did I write that '1952' line? I shot and posted the video, so I must have added the description. I'd say the date was a typo, except for the 'this is cinerama' line. The scene at the end of HTWWW, where they show the present day, and pan above the LA freeway, was swiped from 'this is'. Or some other Cinerama short. It always felt tacked on.
Yes. This was one of the last filmed in Cinerama using three cameras,three lenses for filming and three projectors for screening. Ultra Panavision came along later and replaced the Cinerama process replacing the three camera filming process with just one camera and one projector for screening.Cinerama corporation licensed the Cinerama name to the Ultra Panavision process because Ultra Panavision duplicated the Cinerama process without all the need of having three cameras to film and three projectors to project.
This was 1962, speaking from the 1 Nation as „primitive man“ . Absolutely not OK and today a clear statement of racism. The German Syncronisation/translation of the movie use the words „Kampf gegen die Natur und Ureinwohner“ = „Fight against the nature and natives“. Not better to speak about a fight. They were powerless and overrunned by the mass of people commimg from other continents. On the other hand, the battles agianst the 1. Nations was not the main content and story of the film. The history of a family over two/three generations at that time could be true with the destituitions, efforts and hope for a better life somewhere. A bit emotional in one direction.
Regarding the natives as primitive man isn't racist in the least. It's simply an accurate statement. The Europeans who came forth had once been similar many thousands of years prior. It's merely that the injuns had basically stagnated in their development and in the end this bit them in the ass. I mean they didn't even have the wheel. Something that goes back 5-10,000 years in the old world. And the injuns weren't innocent babes either. They'd been murdering each other over land for centuries. It's just that they had so much of it relative to their tiny population that they had the opposite effect of say, what happened in Europe and the rest of the Mediterranean basin...namely constant strife and conflict due to being much closer to each other in proximity...which promoted the opposite of stagnation, progress. So I see nothing unfair about the European settlers using their hard-won advancements to play the same bloody game the injuns were already playing amongst each other, to win with finality. All's fair in love and war after all. And life ain't fair anyway.
Fuck off. They were primitive. hadn't even invented the wheel yet. That's called primitive. Had no horses or cattle until Europeans introduced them. They were still in the stone age.
A monumental film in its genre about a monumental subject. One of the great cinematic experiences of
my youth and still enjoyed today.

Hell I'm still in search of beaver today, especially the two legged kind.
Ha ha ha ha!!!!! 😄
The problem is that a large portion of two legged beaver today is also in search of beaver.
Actually, this is from the 1962 film How the West Was Won. Not from '52's This is Cinerama

The opening mountains scenes are from ''This is Cinerama'' complete with squashed bug on one of the lenses..

I remember being surrounded by that screen!
Sorry for the cheap video grab. Think of this as 'educational'.
Not an issue Joe. The first 2 minutes of that movie are my absolute favorite. Thanks for posting it! :)
I have the Blu-ray but I would love to have an actual Cinerama transfer so I could make my own Cinerama setup at the house.
There is a Smilebox version (curved) which comes with some Blu Ray in case you want to know
@seandoyle55 Thank you. I just looked it up, about to purchase it now!
And I'll build you a home in the meadow....

"This land has a name today," as though it didn't have one, or plenty of them, under "primitive" man.

Nothing is more tiresome than SJWs, ever virtue signaling. You are not worthy to loosen the shoes of the pioneers who made this country,

@@DOSBoxMom Your last comment is appalling and arrogant. The commenter was not being offensive. But you were..
@@whatsina1 Why do you find it appalling? I would say it is true for most modern people; but especially so for the weak-kneed leftists.
