Well, at least this one is better than the John Wayne Alamo. And far more accurate than the Disney version in Davy Crockett. It is a bit broadly acted, but then again, that might reflect the big Texan personalities of the time. The action sequences are excellent, and it appears to be fairly historically correct. Sam Houston had a chance to rescue this group, but knew it was a trap by Santa Anna. The film was better than most Westerns, but not really a classic. I would still recommend it for the average viewer.
