this junk bore as much resemblance to the novel a a pickle slice do to a cucumber . the film maker take the alamo section out of the book and make it into a movie and and say it be base on the book . hah . wonder what they do to induce mr. michener to endorse this piece of fluff . it be just another davy crockett and flintlock rifle and santa ana and 13 day of glory collection of poppycock . i almost start root for the mexican and just to get the damn thing to end . and what be that scene where stacey keach be try to get james bowie to let him look at the knife . the sexual innuendo he use be juvenile and unnecessary . they could have use the film they waste on that silliness to put in some real dialogue . this show be an embarrassment to hollywood . or can those clown be embarrass .
