Title: Remember the Alamo? Not this movie...
Review: If you like your history glossy or very watered down, this is the movie for you. Hey, loved Wayne in many, many movies BUT, as history buff and Texan, (San Antonio - no less) this is the most atrocious conveyance of history ever. After viewing this movie, one is lucky to know that there was a 'real' place called the Alamo and that somewhere along the way there was some battle in someplace called Texas. Umm, lemme see, the attack after sunrise, Bowie actually not bed-ridden, Travis dying by the sword and then breaking it? Yes, it's spectacle, it is wordy but historical IT IS NOT. Please save your money and buy a book on the Alamo by Walter Lord, "A Time To Stand".
