The Original 1962 How The West Was Won Trailer, Restored in 4K!
(Matched back from the 2008 Warner Bros. Bluray source)
as seen on the Turner Classic Movies site, this version is over a minute and a half longer than Warner's "Theatrical" version, which I believe is actually a second run cut down version.
This upload is non-monetized for historical and archival purposes.
From Wikipedia (with notes from Kyle Popovich):
In 2000,
Warner Bros. assigned Crest Digital the task of
restoring the original Cinerama negative for How the West Was Won.
As part of the process,
Crest Digital built its own authentic Cinerama screening room.
Hewlett-Packard led efforts to combine the three image portions
to make the Cinerama image look more acceptable on a flat screen.
Though the aspect ratio of Cinerama is 2.59:1,
Warner's new releases of the film offer an aspect ratio of 2.89:1,
incorporating much information on both sides
that was not intended to be seen when projected.
The Blu-ray-exclusive SmileBox alternative contains the intended cropping intact.
(This is also the version currently available on KZbin, the "Restored SmileBox Trailer" which has visual imperfections as I have stated in the comment section of that video, here: [ • "HOW THE WEST WAS WON"... ] - Kyle Popovich)
In 2006,
Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging
performed digital restoration on How the West Was Won.
The film was restored frame by frame
at Prasad Corporation to remove dirt, tears, scratches and other damage,
restoring the film's original appearance.
The restored version has been shown on television since October 2008 on the Encore Westerns channel.
(And now in a trailer form here on KZbin! Please don't take this video down Warner, or at least contact me and I'd love to send you the video and work out some sort of deal, I LOVE warner archive and noticed the original trailer has EXTENDED shots NOT in the theatrical and bluray release of the movie? Possible the trailer was made with earlier prints/rough cuts of the movie? or did the trailer guys have access to all the negative reels? - Kyle Popovich)
