Description:
After the United States acquired Louisiana from France, explorers Meriwether Lewis (MacMurray) and William Clark (Heston) lead an expedition to survey the territory where no white man has ever gone before. With the help of Sacajawea (Reed), the two men embark on this journey and hope to overcome the dangers they face.

Enjoyed seeing the movie "Far Horizons" again. Watched part of it filming in Jackson Hole country back in 1954. Nice to have it on DVD.

Apparently, the screenwriters thought an expedition that resulted in no battle casualties and no real fights with the indians was not sufficiently dramatic.

It is quite interesting to view an old Hollywood version of the corps of discovery.
The historical truth is far from being respected, the Native Americans speak beautiful english, Lewis and Clark are rival lovers...still, the film is worth viewing if you want to compare the story line with that of the real trail blazer's story.

We get blue eyed Donna Reed as Sacajawea gazing like a cow at at Charlton Heston as William Clark. "Oh Bill!", "Oh Janey!" they croon. (Nevermind that Sacajawea actually made the trip with her baby and husband.) The insanely ridiculous climax of this affair takes the form of an awkward love triangle...in the Whitehouse no less! Yes, Sacajawea, wearing a stunning ... Read More

Released theatrically in 1954, "The Far Horizons" is an entertaining film about the Lewis and Clark expedition at the turn of the ninteenth century, a pivotal event in the history of the United States. I suspect that historians will roll their eyes at the "Hollywood" version of this famously long, arduous but important expedition that ultimately ensured that America would reach from "sea to sea". Personally I have no problem with actual events being "enhanced" for the entertainment, as well as the enlightenment, ... Read More
