Pros: excellent video and solid audio encodes; magnificent epic western
Cons: bonus features not worthy of this great film

Westerns don’t come much bigger or more magnificent than William Wyler’s The Big Country. Featuring an all-star cast and locations that take one’s breath away at a consistent pace, The Big Country has everything one could want from a classic oater: great, interesting characters, enough rivalries to populate three lesser movies, shootouts, ambushes, fistfights, and enough comic moments and romance to satisfy just about every member of the family. It’s long, and it sometimes drags just a bit in its sprawling narrative that’s large enough that even this big movie can’t always contain it, but in the final analysis, there aren’t too many westerns any bigger or any better than this one.
