California Straight Ahead finds John Wayne as the happy go lucky Biff Smith who's initially content to be a school bus driver. He's got a thing for Louise Latimer, but his lack of ambition distresses her mother, Grace Goodall, to no end. He actually gets himself fired from that job; so he helps Latimer's brother, Emerson Treacy, get his cargo to Chicago after villain LeRoy Mason disables Treacy's truck. Wayne and Treacy form a partnership that later includes Harry Allen. Biff goes on to manage a trucking company which has its fleet pitted against a freight train in a race to deliver aviation parts to the Pacific coast.

At 2.15pm HOW THE WEST WAS WON (1962) In Full HD (165 Minutes-Colour) Starring Carroll Baker, Lee J. Cobb, Carolyn Jones, Karl Malden, Gregory Peck, George Peppard, Debbie Reynolds, James Stewart, John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Robert Preston and Eli Wallach. Directed by John Ford, Henry Hathaway and George Marshall.

Filmed in Panoramic Cinerama, this star-studded, epic Western adventure is a true cinematic classic. Three legendary directors (Henry Hathaway, John Ford, and George Marshall) combine their skills to tell the story of three families and their travels from the Erie Canal to California between 1839 and 1889. Spencer Tracy narrates the film, which cost an estimated 15 million dollars to complete. In the first segment, "The Rivers," pioneer Zebulon Prescott (Karl Malden) sets out to settle in the West with his wife (Agnes Moorehead) and their four children.
