  • At 4:20 the film actually starts with MGM Lion & opening credits on screen. But this clip seems to be "stuck" on the 'Overture' title for some reason. Oh well, still nice to hear all that great music!

  • @Dimension150 you are correct the overture actually ends in 4:20!

see all

  • CERTAINLY ONE OF THE GREATEST SCORES EVER WRITTEN FOR THE SCREEN MEMORABLE AND TREMENDOUSLY MOVING.

  • can you upload the Blu-ray footage instead - the sound is much better there

  • I saw this movie in the Seattle Cinerama in October 2011 in the original 3-projector 105mm format. The place was packed with film geeks. The Overture played with all three projectors spinning and the curtains closed. It sounded fantastic and the crowd was awed. Then when the MGM lion roared the curtains opened and you could see the opening credits. It was a magic moment and I appreciate having this posted so I can relive it.

  • is this from the Blu-ray - becaurse i have just seen the BD version and the music is just awesome in stereo and very sharp

  • It has a strange air of loneliness; great theme music, but certainily week story telling.

  • RIP----Harry Morgan.

  • @ZeekWolfe1 i thought part 4 was bad for the plot, and the civil war scenes couldve been tied together better, but the first 2 parts were awesome

  • @windstorm1000 Did you ever actually see the film in Cinerama the way it was meant to be presented? I don't think anybody who actually has would call it a distraction.

  • The movie was wonderful except for the scenes of the Civil War. It is clear that corners were cut to keep expenses down. It was mostly shot on a sound stage. The cannons were not realistic and the scene with Harry Morgan as Grant and John Wayne as Sherman just didn't seem right.

  • Not much to say for thye film, but the music was great!
