The Alamo (1960)

The Alamo (1960) is an American historical film. The film was directed by John Wayne, who starred as Davy Crockett as well. The move is about the 1836 Battle of the Alamo. This film has no true theme because it does little to explain the causes of the Texas Revolution or the battle itself. Alamo historian Timothy Todish stated that there was “not a single scene in The Alamo which corresponds to a historically verifiable incident". Historians J. Frank Dobie and Lon Tinkle demanded their names be removed as historical advisors.  This movie wan an Oscar and a Golden Globe and a Golden Laurel. The plot was kind of stale and I did not really enjoy watching this movie. It was probably because I already knew about the battle of the Alamo from my history classes when I was a kid and I generally do not like movies that I knew what was going to happen. I will see for a western that the picture quality, color, and sound of this film was pretty good.
