If it is useful for anyone interested in the dramatis personae of "How the West Was Won", a more appropriate cast listing -in terms of the drama and not the actors' status at the time of release- would read in this order: with Debbie Reynolds, George Peppard, Carroll Baker, Gregory Peck, James Stewart, Karl Malden, Agnes Moorehead, Carolyn Jones, Robert Preston, Thelma Ritter, Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda, Eli Wallach, Lee J. Cobb, Walter Brennan, Tudor Owen, Harry Morgan, John Wayne, Russ Tamblyn, Claude Johnson, Brigid Bazlen, John Larch, Jay C. Flippen, Andy Devine, Raymond Massey, David Brian, Mickey Shaughnessy, Stanley Livingston, Bryan Russell, Kim Charney... Actors appear and quickly disappear in this film, but Reynolds and Baker as the Prescott sisters, and George Peppard as Zeb, respectively their nephew and son, lead the story of three generations of pioneers in the American West. I found the first part of the story the more interesting, with the voyage of the Prescott family in search of a better life.
