The Way West
Former U.S. Senator William Tadlock (Kirk Douglas) is leaving his home in Missouri in 1843, heading west on the Oregon Trail by wagon train to the Oregon Country (Pacific Northwest region). His son and slave come along, with mountain man Dick Summers (Robert Mitchum) that he recruited as a hired guide and scout. Joining them on the expedition are cantankerous farmer Lije Evans (Richard Widmark), his wife Rebecca (Lola Albright), and 16-year-old son Brownie (Michael McGreevey). Among others there are also the newlyweds Johnnie (Michael Witney) and Amanda Mack (Katherine Justice), plus the Fairman and McBee families.
