this movie be flaw on many front . like many before it and it portray more of the mythology of the alamo than the history . the production be poor and overall give the impression of a welfare project for lot of actor who might have otherwise have to work on hollywood square . this to me be the great flaw i know the age and general personality of the real alamo protagonist and the geriatric ensemble of tv actor choose to portray them never let any hint of believability intrude . a a native texan and i grow up with the mythology . i later learn more about the history . i can accept a decent production from either perspective ( although i prefer more historical accuracy ) and but this never give me a chance to enjoy it . even john wayne or fes parker version have more life than this stolid mess and while be only slightly less accurate . very disappointing avoid it .
