Henry Fonda, Gregory Peck, Debbie Reynolds, James Stewart, and John Wayne are among the big names in this big saga following a family's move West through generations marked by the spectacles of a heart-pounding raging river ride, a thunderous buffalo stampede, and a bracing runaway train shootout. Via technological advances, this panoramic winner of three Academy Awards can now be seen with a resplendent, restored clarity eliminating its original three- panel join lines and in roof-raising Dolby 5.1 audio.
