<P> How the West Was Won is a 1962 American Metrocolor epic - western film . The picture was one of the last `` old - fashioned '' epic films made by Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer to enjoy great success . Set between 1839 and 1889 , it follows four generations of a family ( starting as the Prescotts ) as they move from western New York to the Pacific Ocean . The picture was one of only two dramatic films made in the curved - screen three - projector Cinerama process , which added to its original impact . </P>
