Spectacular Western focusing a wagon train of emigrants bound from Missouri to Oregon
This motion picture is based on the Pulitzer-winning novel by A. B. Guthrie. It starts in Independence, Missouri, 1843, senator William(Kirk Douglas) asks volunteers to unite themselves towards Oregon. Among them find the Evans family, formed by Lije(Richard Widmark) his wife Rebecca(Lola Albright) and their son Brownnie; the justly married Johnnie and Amanda Mack and various traders from Independence. Kirk Douglas join forces with Robert Mitchum, as a taciturn explorer, he’s a supreme hero in a performance that epitomises the spirit of the early West at least as Hollywood saw it.

The American West has a turbulent and mighty history , some of which is told in story and folk songs . Here is a panoramic view of the American West, concerning on the dangers, hazards, travels and tribulations of pioneers set against the background of breathtaking landscapes and risked deeds, including Indians attack and one deeply cliff. Particularly impressive for its notable cast list and expansive Western setting. Any Western that play stars such as Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, Richard Widmark and Sally Field -film debut- is at least worth a glimpse. Furthermore a magnificent secondary casting, as Jack Elam, Stubby Kaye, John Agar, John Mitchum, among others. Sadly this epic Western doesn’t hold up that well on TV set because was released on the great screen and much of the grandeur of the original version is lost. But Shootém-up and spectacular scenarios fans won’t want to miss a chance to see many of the genre’s greats in one movie. This is an epic movie , photographed in gorgeous Technicolor by William Clothier- John Ford’s usual cameraman-, adding lustre on the groundbreaking sweep, along with an emotive musical score by Branislaw Kaper. The film is splendidly filmed on locations in America’s National forests and professionally directed by Andrew W McLagen.

Could Have Been a Good One
This film had all to come out as a fine western: big budget, top stars, impressive outdoor locations, great color photography, acceptable stories around the main plot, interesting characters, action scenes and so on. But its a fact it didn’t make it and turned out as just an average product and in my opinion director Andrew MacLaglen has to do with it.

MacLaglen never was a very imaginative director. He just sort of pushed his films ahead following the scripts and taking no risks at all by including some personal touches or feelings; that’s why it is hard to find really bad pictures in his filmography but you also won’t find higher than average films either (other examples are “The Undefeated” with John Wayne and Rock Hudson; “The Last Hard Men” with Charton Heston, James Coburn and Barbara Hershey; “The Sea Wolves” with Gregory Peck, David Niven and Roger Moore). “The Way West” is a classical MacLaglen movie, just standard, average and light with no big flaws and no major highlights either.

Kirk Douglas, Richard Widmark and Robert Mitchum are good but wasted in the leading parts. Sally Field’s early role as a young girl too avid for man’s favors showed she had talent and a promising career she certainly fulfilled.

All in all, “The Way West” is just for western fans to spend a couple of hours without much expectations.
