Movie Reviews

The Spectator - 7/10 by Isabel QuiglyThe Way West is made with spirit and feeling and, if it has all the old stuff in it, it also has three rock-like old-timers showing their - years but also their assurance, their professionalism, their sheer much-used talent.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzVictor McLaglen's son Andrew directed in a lackluster way this dreary epic of the move Westward.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertIf The Way West does not wholly succeed as drama, it is at least a well-made and wholly professional Hollywood Western. Western fans, myself included, might enjoy it for that alone. Widmark and Mitchum are excellent in roles unusual for them and Douglas, as always, is a seasoned old hand.
The New York Times - 3/10 by Bosley CrowtherWhat they have to go through to reach Oregon is nothing to compare to what an old Western fan has to go through to keep from getting up in the middle and walking out.

User Review - 10/10 by Anna NThis is an excellent movie. Has a star studded cast, Douglas,Mitchum, Widmark, Sally Field...Very much overlooked classic.
User Review - 8/10 by Darren OI love a good western and I wish they would make them as good as they used to be. This movie was great because it was about settlers journeying to the west into the unknown. Great cast, great story and I love a movie where they have to travel from point A to B
User Review - 6/10 by Adam DYou can't go wrong with Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, and Richard Widmark.
User Review - 6/10 by Moon SA top set notch cast for a western which has a good story.
User Review - 6/10 by Henry F6.0 out of 10 stars. This was a good movie. A solid western, though it felt more like a miniseries than a movie. Kirk does a great job and the acting overall is great. Check it out if you are a fan of westerns
