Product Information

Wyler's powerful Western covers a lot of territory with Gregory Peck a fish out of water as a sea captain who travels west to marry and settle, but finds himself in the middle of a bitter dispute over water rights and a jealous clash with the ranch foreman (Charlton Heston). He also discovers his fiancee isn't who he imagined and finds true romance with the local schoolmistress (Jean Simmons). Folk singer Burl Ives surprised audiences with his performance which garnered him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar.

  • Almost everything in the movie supported the title "Big Country"

    Great characters, great story line that kept you engaged till the very end. Even some good life lessons taught by those characters. Every one was perfectly cast. One of my favorite western movies!

  • Great Movie, Superb cast of Actors/Actresses

    Excellent scenery & an entertaining plot. Jean Simmons in her first Western rides her own horse & displays excellent horsemanship. Burl Ives won an Academy Award for Best Support Actor. I've enjoyed watching this movie/DVD as much the 4th time as I did the first time.

  • Classic

    I saw this movie when it came to theaters. It was good back then and it's good now. (Rotten Tomatoes gives in 100%.) I categorize it as a classic western: rivalry, struggle, jealousy, love, and topical elements of that time period and location. I loved, in particular, that the ex-sea captain went off on the prairie on his own overnight, and everyone thought he was lost. He wasn't lost--he used his compass and the stars. Buy it for yourself, and give it as a gift.

  • Excellent horse opera

    I'm a big fan of westerns and well made ones are just plain entertaining to watch. The story line is interesting and Burl Ives certainly earned his Oscar for this one. Overall just a fun movie and worth buying so I can see it whenever...

  • Go West Young Man

    Moving out West at times has been played as romantic and full of peace. However in this movie it shows the struggles of going west and the interaction between those who are hoping to find their pot at the end of the rainbow. It is very entertaining! Blessings!
